Re: [Help-glpk] numerical instability

[Akhil langer]

Michael, Andrew

I changed the code and all the variables now have fixed upper bound ( 1000 units). But I am still getting the Numerical instability warnings. In my program, the size of the model increases in each solve. Is the instability because of the increasing problem size or accumulated round-off errors. If latter is the case, is there any way to determine the instability and reset the model when instability is present.

Andrew,

Thanks, Andrew. The NaN problem has been resolved. However, I keep getting
the following warning:

Warning: numerical instability (primal simplex, phase I)

Please note that I have been using INT_MAX as the upper bound for some
columns. Could that be the cause of the instability? I can change these
columns also to be free but that would require some changes in the code.
Just wanted to check with you if changing the code will remove the
instability?

That is still rather large.
I'd bite the bullet and make the code changes.
In the alternative, find sensible bounds.
