Add new linear constraints to a model. Note that, due to our lazy update approach, the new constraints won't actually be added until you update the model (using GRBupdatemodel), optimize the model (using GRBoptimize), or write the model to disk (using GRBwrite).

We recommend that you build your model one constraint at a time (using GRBaddconstr), since it introduces no significant overhead and we find that it produces simpler code. Feel free to use this routine if you disagree, though.

If your constraint matrix may contain more than 2 billion non-zero values, you should consider using the GRBXaddconstrs variant of this routine.

Return value:

A non-zero return value indicates that a problem occurred while adding the constraints. Refer to the Error Code table for a list of possible return values. Details on the error can be obtained by calling GRBgeterrormsg.

Arguments:

model: The model to which the new constraints should be added.

numconstrs: The number of new constraints to add.

numnz: The total number of non-zero coefficients in the new constraints.

cbeg: Constraint matrix non-zero values are passed into this routine in Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) format by this routine. Each constraint in the constraint matrix is represented as a list of index-value pairs, where each index entry provides the variable index for a non-zero coefficient, and each value entry provides the corresponding non-zero value. Each new constraint has an associated cbeg value, indicating the start position of the non-zeros for that constraint in the cind and cval arrays. This routine requires that the non-zeros for constraint i immediately follow those for constraint i-1 in cind and cval. Thus, cbeg[i] indicates both the index of the first non-zero in constraint i and the end of the non-zeros for constraint i-1. To give an example of how this representation is used, consider a case where cbeg[2] = 10 and cbeg[3] = 12. This would indicate that constraint 2 has two non-zero values associated with it. Their variable indices can be found in cind[10] and cind[11], and the numerical values for those non-zeros can be found in cval[10] and cval[11].

cind: Variable indices associated with non-zero values. See the description of the cbeg argument for more information.

cval: Numerical values associated with constraint matrix non-zeros. See the description of the cbeg argument for more information.

sense: Sense for the new constraints. Options are GRB_LESS_EQUAL, GRB_EQUAL, or GRB_GREATER_EQUAL.

rhs: Right-hand side values for the new constraints. This argument can be NULL, in which case the right-hand side values are set to 0.0.

constrnames: Names for the new constraints. This argument can be NULL, in which case all constraints are given default names.
