Function Documentation

qpalm_cleanup()

QPALM_EXPORT void qpalm_cleanup

(

QPALMWorkspace *

work

)

Cleanup the workspace by deallocating memory.

This function should be the called after the user is done using QPALM.

Parameters

work

Workspace

qpalm_set_default_settings()

QPALM_EXPORT void qpalm_set_default_settings

(

QPALMSettings *

settings

)

Set default settings from constants.h file.

Assumes settings are already allocated in memory.

Parameters

settings

Settings structure

Examples

Here is the caller graph for this function:

qpalm_setup()

QPALM_EXPORT QPALMWorkspace * qpalm_setup	(	const QPALMData *	data,
		const QPALMSettings *	settings
	)

Initialize QPALM solver allocating memory.

All the inputs must be already allocated in memory before calling.

It performs:

• data and settings validation
• problem data scaling

Parameters

data	Problem data
settings	Solver settings

Returns

Solver environment

Here is the call graph for this function:

qpalm_solve()

QPALM_EXPORT void qpalm_solve

(

QPALMWorkspace *

work

)

Solve the quadratic program.

The final solver information is stored in the work->info structure.

The solution is stored in the work->solution structure.

If the problem is primal infeasible, the certificate is stored in work->delta_y.

If the problem is dual infeasible, the certificate is stored in work->delta_x.

Parameters

work

Workspace

qpalm_update_bounds()

QPALM_EXPORT void qpalm_update_bounds	(	QPALMWorkspace *	work,
		const c_float *	bmin,
		const c_float *	bmax
	)

Update the lower and upper bounds.

Use NULL to indicate that one of the bounds does not change.

Parameters

work	Workspace
bmin	New lower bounds
bmax	New upper bounds

qpalm_update_q()

QPALM_EXPORT void qpalm_update_q	(	QPALMWorkspace *	work,
		const c_float *	q
	)

Update the linear part of the cost.

This causes an update of the cost scaling factor as well.

Parameters

work	Workspace
q	Linear part of the objective

qpalm_update_Q_A()

QPALM_EXPORT void qpalm_update_Q_A	(	QPALMWorkspace *	work,
		const c_float *	Qx,
		const c_float *	Ax
	)

Update the matrix entries of Q and A.

This function does not allow a change in the patterns of Q and A. For this, the user will need to recall qpalm_setup.

Parameters

work	Workspace
Qx	Elements of Q (upper diagonal part)
Ax	Elements of A

Here is the caller graph for this function:

qpalm_update_settings()

QPALM_EXPORT void qpalm_update_settings	(	QPALMWorkspace *	work,
		const QPALMSettings *	settings
	)

Update the settings to the new settings.

Warning

Decreasing settings->scaling is not allowed. Increasing it is possible.

Parameters

work	Workspace
settings	New settings

qpalm_warm_start()

QPALM_EXPORT void qpalm_warm_start	(	QPALMWorkspace *	work,
		const c_float *	x_warm_start,
		const c_float *	y_warm_start
	)

Warm start workspace variables x, x_0, x_prev, Ax, Qx, y and sigma.

If x_warm_start or y_warm_start is given as NULL, then the related variables will be initialized to 0. This function also initializes the penalty parameters sigma and the matrix Asqrtsigma.

Parameters

work	Workspace
x_warm_start	Warm start for the primal variables
y_warm_start	Warm start for the dual variables
