Detailed Description

Some optimization problems, in particular column generation problems, are better described from a variable point of view instead of a constraint point of view.

For such context we provide the class ColVar which similar to the class RowCon stores the nonzero coefficient explicitly in an object of the class Column.

The constraint class which is associated with this variables class is the class NumCon which identifies constraints only by a unique integer number. NumCon is an abstract class.

	)

inline

The constructor.

Parameters

master	A pointer to the corresponding master of the optimization.
sub	A pointer to the subproblem associated with the variable. This can be also the 0-pointer.
dynamic	If this argument is true, then the variable can be removed from the active variable set during the subproblem optimization.
local	If this argument is true, then the constraint is considered to be only locally valid. As a local variable is associated with a subproblem, sub must not be 0 if local is true.
lBound	The lower bound of the variable.
uBound	The upper bound of the variable.
varType	The type of the variable.
obj	The objective function coefficient of the variable.
nnz	The number of nonzero elements of the variable.
support	The array storing the constraints with the nonzero coefficients.
coeff	The nonzero coefficients of the constraints stored in support.
