3.2.13.1.1. Class flow::Flow

class flow::Flow

A Flow object represents a flow model on a given derivation graph. A model consists of a set of modules with the base module modelling the edge flow and input/output flow. Each module is accessed using proxy objects accessible as public members in the main model object.

3.2.13.1.1.2. Details

int getId() const
Returns

the instance identifier for the object.

std::shared_ptr<dg::DG> getDG() const
Returns

the underlying derivation graph.

lib::HyperFlow::Flow &getFlow()
const lib::HyperFlow::Flow &getFlow() const
Returns

the internal data structures of the flow model.

bool isSpecificationLocked() const
Returns

whether the specification is locked for modifications.

void listSpecification() const

List the specification.

void addSource(dg::DG::Vertex v)

Add the vertex as a possible source.

Throws

LogicError if isSpecificationLocked().

Throws

LogicError if !v.

Throws

LogicError if v.getDG() != getDG().

void addSource(std::shared_ptr<graph::Graph> g)

Equivalent to calling addSource(getDG()->findVertex(g)).

std::vector<dg::DG::Vertex> getSources() const

Retrieve the list of source vertices for the model.

void addSink(dg::DG::Vertex v)

Add the vertex as a possible sink.

Throws

LogicError if isSpecificationLocked().

Throws

LogicError if !v.

Throws

LogicError if v.getDG() != getDG().

void addSink(std::shared_ptr<graph::Graph> g)

Equivalent to calling addSink(getDG()->findVertex(g)).

std::vector<dg::DG::Vertex> getSinks() const

Retrieve the list of sink vertices for the model.

void exclude(dg::DG::Vertex v)

Exclude the vertex and all its incident edges from the model. This will not only add a constraint to disallow flow through this vertex, but will make some algorithms in various models pretend the vertex and incident edges were never part of the model in the first place.

Throws

LogicError if isSpecificationLocked().

Throws

LogicError if !v.

Throws

LogicError if v.getDG() != getDG().

void exclude(std::shared_ptr<graph::Graph> g)

Equivalent to calling exclude(getDG()->findVertex(g)).

std::vector<dg::DG::Vertex> getExcluded() const

Retrieve the list of excluded vertices for the model.

void separateIOInternalTransit(dg::DG::Vertex v)

Ensure that the expanded vertex of v has transit edges such that flow going from the input edge or to the output edge can be distinguished from flow going from the network and back to the network.

The vertex expansion is lazy, and thus calling this function is necessary in order to, e.g., access the corresponding transitInternal variable.

Throws

LogicError if isSpecificationLocked().

Throws

LogicError if !v.

Throws

LogicError if v.getDG() != getDG().

void separateIOInternalTransit(std::shared_ptr<graph::Graph> g)

Equivalent to calling separateIOInternalTransit(getDG()->findVertex(g)).

std::vector<dg::DG::Vertex> getSeparatedIOInternalTransit() const
Returns

a list of vertices where separateIOInternalTransit() has been called. Note, this does not mean that other vertices do not have separated transit edges. For example, calling setAllowIOReversal(true) implies separation as well.

void setAllowHyperLoops(bool value)
bool getAllowHyperLoops() const

Control or query whether or not flow is allowed through loop hyperedges. I.e., hyperedges with identical source and target multisets.

Throws

(only set) LogicError if isSpecificationLocked().

Note

This setting may be changed when certain modules are enabled.

void setAllowReversal(bool value)
bool getAllowReversal() const

Control or query whether or not flow may go through one edge and then directly afterwards the inverse edge.

Throws

(only set) LogicError if isSpecificationLocked().

Note

This setting may be modified when certain modules are enabled.

void setAllowIOReversal(bool value)
bool getAllowIOReversal() const

Control or query whether or not flow may go through an input edge and directly afterwards through the corresponding output edge.

This implies that transit edges gets separated in all vertices, as if separateIOInternalTransit() was called on all of them.

Throws

(only set) LogicError if isSpecificationLocked().

Note

This setting may be modified when certain modules are enabled.

void setRelaxed(bool value)
bool getRelaxed() const

Controls whether the core flow variables are integer or continuous. The default is False, meaning integer. Using the relaxed model significantly changes the meaning of solutions, and many features may break.

Throws

(only set) LogicError if isSpecificationLocked().

void setObjectiveFunction(LinExp func)

Set the objective function used when finding solutions.

Throws

LogicError if isSpecificationLocked().

void addIntVariable(const std::string &name)

Create a new variable with the given name.

a handle to the variable.

Throws

LogicError if isSpecificationLocked().

Throws

LogicError if :cpp:var`name` is already in use.

void addConstraint(const LinConstraint &constraint)

Add the given linear constraint to the model.

Throws

LogicError if isSpecificationLocked().

OverallAutocatalysis overallAutocatalysis

The access object for the overall autocatalysis module of the flow model.

OverallCatalysis overallCatalysis

The access object for the overall catalysis module of the flow model.

Thermodynamics thermodynamics

The access object for the thermodynamics module of the flow model.

void addEnumerationVar(Var var)

Add the variables specified by the given variable specifier for solution enumeration.

The default variables are edge, inFlow, and outFlow. These are removed the first time this function is called.

Throws

LogicError if isSpecificationLocked().

std::vector<Var> getEnumerationVars() const

Retrieve the list of variable specifiers used for solution enumeration.

void setAbsGap(int absGap)

Set the absolute gap in objective value between the optimal solution and the worst solution. As default there is no constraint on this gap. Pass a negative number to reset to this unconstrained state.

Throws

LogicError if isSpecificationLocked().

std::optional<int> getAbsGap()
Returns

the absolution gap in objective value.

SolutionRange findSolutions(int maxNumSolutions)
SolutionRange findSolutions(int maxNumSolutions, int verbosity)
SolutionRange findSolutions(int maxNumSolutions, int verbosity, int ilpVerbosity)

Find the next up to maxNumSolutions best solutions.

This may be call multiple times to find additional solutions in an incremental fashion. After the first call the specification will be locked, i.e., isSpecificationLocked() will return true.

Parameters
  • verbosity

    controls the amount of information printed during solution enumeration, defaults to 1:

    • 0: print no information, and cap ilpVerbosity to 0.

    • 1: print status updates periodically, and cap ilpVerbosity to 1.

    • 2: print debug information.

  • verbosity

    controls the amount of information printed by the underlying ILP solver, defaults to 1:

    • 0: print no information.

    • 1: print default information for the first solution only.

    • 2: print default information when finding a solution.

Returns
