FarkasDual

Type: double
Modifiable: No

Together, attributes FarkasDual and FarkasProof provide a certificate of infeasibility for the given problem. Specifically, they can be used to form the following inequality from the original constraints that is trivially infeasible:

<span>$</span>\bar{a}x = \lambda^tAx \leq \lambda^tb = -\beta + \sum\limits_{j:\bar{a}_j<0}\bar{a}_jU_j + \sum\limits_{j:\bar{a}_j>0}\bar{a}_jL_j,
<span>$</span>

where <span>$</span>\beta>0<span>$</span>, <span>$</span>L_j<span>$</span> is the lower bound of variable <span>$</span>x_j<span>$</span>, <span>$</span>U_j<span>$</span> is the upper bound of variable <span>$</span>x_j<span>$</span>, <span>$</span>\lambda_i \geq 0<span>$</span> if the <span>$</span>i<span>$</span>-th constraint has a <span>$</span>\leq<span>$</span> sense, <span>$</span>\lambda_i \leq 0<span>$</span> if the <span>$</span>i<span>$</span>-th constraint has a <span>$</span>\geq<span>$</span> sense, <span>$</span>\bar{a}_j \geq 0<span>$</span> if <span>$</span>U_j = \infty<span>$</span>, and <span>$</span>\bar{a}_j
\leq 0<span>$</span> if <span>$</span>L_j = -\infty<span>$</span>. This constraint can not be satisfied for any <span>$</span>\beta>0<span>$</span>. The FarkasProof attribute provides <span>$</span>\beta<span>$</span>, and the FarkasDual attributes provide <span>$</span>\lambda<span>$</span> multipliers for the original constraints.

This attribute is only available when parameter InfUnbdInfo is set to 1.
