"""Interior-point method for linear programming
The *interior-point* method uses the primal-dual path following algorithm
outlined in [1]_. This algorithm supports sparse constraint matrices and
is typically faster than the simplex methods, especially for large, sparse
problems. Note, however, that the solution returned may be slightly less
accurate than those of the simplex methods and will not, in general,
correspond with a vertex of the polytope defined by the constraints.

Parameters
----------
M : 2-D array
As defined in [4] Equation 8.31
sparse : bool (default = False)
True if the system to be solved is sparse. This is typically set
True when the original ``A_ub`` and ``A_eq`` arrays are sparse.
lstsq : bool (default = False)
True if the system is ill-conditioned and/or (nearly) singular and
thus a more robust least-squares solver is desired. This is sometimes
needed as the solution is approached.
sym_pos : bool (default = True)
True if the system matrix is symmetric positive definite
Sometimes this needs to be set false as the solution is approached,
even when the system should be symmetric positive definite, due to
numerical difficulties.
cholesky : bool (default = True)
True if the system is to be solved by Cholesky, rather than LU,
decomposition. This is typically faster unless the problem is very
small or prone to numerical difficulties.

Parameters
----------
As defined in [4], except:
sparse : bool
True if the system to be solved is sparse. This is typically set
True when the original ``A_ub`` and ``A_eq`` arrays are sparse.
lstsq : bool
True if the system is ill-conditioned and/or (nearly) singular and
thus a more robust least-squares solver is desired. This is sometimes

sym_pos : bool
True if the system matrix is symmetric positive definite
Sometimes this needs to be set false as the solution is approached,

numerical difficulties.
cholesky : bool
True if the system is to be solved by Cholesky, rather than LU,
decomposition. This is typically faster unless the problem is very
small or prone to numerical difficulties.
pc : bool
True if the predictor-corrector method of Mehrota is to be used. This
is almost always (if not always) beneficial. Even though it requires
the solution of an additional linear system, the factorization
is typically (implicitly) reused so solution is efficient, and the
number of algorithm iterations is typically reduced.
ip : bool
True if the improved initial point suggestion due to [4] section 4.3
is desired. It's unclear whether this is beneficial.
permc_spec : str (default = 'MMD_AT_PLUS_A')
(Has effect only with ``sparse = True``, ``lstsq = False``, ``sym_pos =
True``.) A matrix is factorized in each iteration of the algorithm.
This option specifies how to permute the columns of the matrix for
sparsity preservation. Acceptable values are:
- ``NATURAL``: natural ordering.
- ``MMD_ATA``: minimum degree ordering on the structure of A^T A.
- ``MMD_AT_PLUS_A``: minimum degree ordering on the structure of A^T+A.
- ``COLAMD``: approximate minimum degree column ordering.
This option can impact the convergence of the
interior point algorithm; test different values to determine which
performs best for your problem. For more information, refer to
``scipy.sparse.linalg.splu``.

Solve a linear programming problem in standard form:
Minimize::
c @ x
Subject to::
A @ x == b

using the interior point method of [4].
Parameters
----------
A : 2-D array
2-D array such that ``A @ x``, gives the values of the equality
constraints at ``x``.
b : 1-D array
1-D array of values representing the RHS of each equality constraint
(row) in ``A`` (for standard form problem).
c : 1-D array
Coefficients of the linear objective function to be minimized (for
standard form problem).
c0 : float
Constant term in objective function due to fixed (and eliminated)
variables. (Purely for display.)
alpha0 : float
The maximal step size for Mehrota's predictor-corrector search
direction; see :math:`\beta_3`of [4] Table 8.1
beta : float
The desired reduction of the path parameter :math:`\mu` (see [6]_)
maxiter : int
The maximum number of iterations of the algorithm.
disp : bool
Set to ``True`` if indicators of optimization status are to be printed
to the console each iteration.
tol : float
Termination tolerance; see [4]_ Section 4.5.
sparse : bool
Set to ``True`` if the problem is to be treated as sparse. However,
the inputs ``A_eq`` and ``A_ub`` should nonetheless be provided as
(dense) arrays rather than sparse matrices.
lstsq : bool
Set to ``True`` if the problem is expected to be very poorly
conditioned. This should always be left as ``False`` unless severe
numerical difficulties are frequently encountered, and a better option
would be to improve the formulation of the problem.
sym_pos : bool
Leave ``True`` if the problem is expected to yield a well conditioned
symmetric positive definite normal equation matrix (almost always).
cholesky : bool
Set to ``True`` if the normal equations are to be solved by explicit
Cholesky decomposition followed by explicit forward/backward
substitution. This is typically faster for moderate, dense problems
that are numerically well-behaved.
pc : bool
Leave ``True`` if the predictor-corrector method of Mehrota is to be
used. This is almost always (if not always) beneficial.
ip : bool
Set to ``True`` if the improved initial point suggestion due to [4]_
Section 4.3 is desired. It's unclear whether this is beneficial.
permc_spec : str (default = 'MMD_AT_PLUS_A')
(Has effect only with ``sparse = True``, ``lstsq = False``, ``sym_pos =
True``.) A matrix is factorized in each iteration of the algorithm.
This option specifies how to permute the columns of the matrix for
sparsity preservation. Acceptable values are:
- ``NATURAL``: natural ordering.
- ``MMD_ATA``: minimum degree ordering on the structure of A^T A.
- ``MMD_AT_PLUS_A``: minimum degree ordering on the structure of A^T+A.
- ``COLAMD``: approximate minimum degree column ordering.
This option can impact the convergence of the
interior point algorithm; test different values to determine which
performs best for your problem. For more information, refer to
``scipy.sparse.linalg.splu``.
callback : callable, optional
If a callback function is provided, it will be called within each
iteration of the algorithm. The callback function must accept a single
`scipy.optimize.OptimizeResult` consisting of the following fields:
x : 1-D array
Current solution vector
fun : float
Current value of the objective function
success : bool
True only when an algorithm has completed successfully,
so this is always False as the callback function is called
only while the algorithm is still iterating.
slack : 1-D array
The values of the slack variables. Each slack variable
corresponds to an inequality constraint. If the slack is zero,
the corresponding constraint is active.
con : 1-D array
The (nominally zero) residuals of the equality constraints,
that is, ``b - A_eq @ x``
phase : int
The phase of the algorithm being executed. This is always
1 for the interior-point method because it has only one phase.
status : int
For revised simplex, this is always 0 because if a different
status is detected, the algorithm terminates.
nit : int
The number of iterations performed.
message : str
A string descriptor of the exit status of the optimization.
postsolve_args : tuple
Data needed by _postsolve to convert the solution to the standard-form
problem into the solution to the original problem.
Returns
-------
x_hat : float
Solution vector (for standard form problem).
status : int
An integer representing the exit status of the optimization::
0 : Optimization terminated successfully
1 : Iteration limit reached
2 : Problem appears to be infeasible
3 : Problem appears to be unbounded
4 : Serious numerical difficulties encountered
message : str
A string descriptor of the exit status of the optimization.
iteration : int
The number of iterations taken to solve the problem

r"""
Minimize a linear objective function subject to linear
equality and non-negativity constraints using the interior point method
of [4]_. Linear programming is intended to solve problems
of the following form:
Minimize::
c @ x
Subject to::
A @ x == b
x >= 0
User-facing documentation is in _linprog_doc.py.
Parameters
----------
c : 1-D array
Coefficients of the linear objective function to be minimized.
c0 : float
Constant term in objective function due to fixed (and eliminated)
variables. (Purely for display.)
A : 2-D array
2-D array such that ``A @ x``, gives the values of the equality
constraints at ``x``.
b : 1-D array
1-D array of values representing the right hand side of each equality
constraint (row) in ``A``.
callback : callable, optional
Callback function to be executed once per iteration.
postsolve_args : tuple
Data needed by _postsolve to convert the solution to the standard-form
problem into the solution to the original problem.
Options
-------
maxiter : int (default = 1000)
The maximum number of iterations of the algorithm.
tol : float (default = 1e-8)
Termination tolerance to be used for all termination criteria;
see [4]_ Section 4.5.
disp : bool (default = False)
Set to ``True`` if indicators of optimization status are to be printed
to the console each iteration.
alpha0 : float (default = 0.99995)
The maximal step size for Mehrota's predictor-corrector search
direction; see :math:`\beta_{3}` of [4]_ Table 8.1.
beta : float (default = 0.1)
The desired reduction of the path parameter :math:`\mu` (see [6]_)
when Mehrota's predictor-corrector is not in use (uncommon).
sparse : bool (default = False)
Set to ``True`` if the problem is to be treated as sparse after
presolve. If either ``A_eq`` or ``A_ub`` is a sparse matrix,
this option will automatically be set ``True``, and the problem
will be treated as sparse even during presolve. If your constraint
matrices contain mostly zeros and the problem is not very small (less
than about 100 constraints or variables), consider setting ``True``
or providing ``A_eq`` and ``A_ub`` as sparse matrices.
lstsq : bool (default = False)
Set to ``True`` if the problem is expected to be very poorly
conditioned. This should always be left ``False`` unless severe
numerical difficulties are encountered. Leave this at the default
unless you receive a warning message suggesting otherwise.
sym_pos : bool (default = True)
Leave ``True`` if the problem is expected to yield a well conditioned
symmetric positive definite normal equation matrix
(almost always). Leave this at the default unless you receive
a warning message suggesting otherwise.
cholesky : bool (default = True)
Set to ``True`` if the normal equations are to be solved by explicit
Cholesky decomposition followed by explicit forward/backward
substitution. This is typically faster for problems
that are numerically well-behaved.
pc : bool (default = True)
Leave ``True`` if the predictor-corrector method of Mehrota is to be
used. This is almost always (if not always) beneficial.
ip : bool (default = False)
Set to ``True`` if the improved initial point suggestion due to [4]_
Section 4.3 is desired. Whether this is beneficial or not
depends on the problem.
permc_spec : str (default = 'MMD_AT_PLUS_A')
(Has effect only with ``sparse = True``, ``lstsq = False``, ``sym_pos =
True``, and no SuiteSparse.)
A matrix is factorized in each iteration of the algorithm.
This option specifies how to permute the columns of the matrix for
sparsity preservation. Acceptable values are:
- ``NATURAL``: natural ordering.
- ``MMD_ATA``: minimum degree ordering on the structure of A^T A.
- ``MMD_AT_PLUS_A``: minimum degree ordering on the structure of A^T+A.
- ``COLAMD``: approximate minimum degree column ordering.
This option can impact the convergence of the
interior point algorithm; test different values to determine which
performs best for your problem. For more information, refer to
``scipy.sparse.linalg.splu``.
unknown_options : dict
Optional arguments not used by this particular solver. If
`unknown_options` is non-empty a warning is issued listing all
unused options.
Returns
-------
x : 1-D array
Solution vector.
status : int
An integer representing the exit status of the optimization::
0 : Optimization terminated successfully
1 : Iteration limit reached
2 : Problem appears to be infeasible
3 : Problem appears to be unbounded
4 : Serious numerical difficulties encountered
message : str
A string descriptor of the exit status of the optimization.
iteration : int
The number of iterations taken to solve the problem.
Notes
-----
This method implements the algorithm outlined in [4]_ with ideas from [8]_
and a structure inspired by the simpler methods of [6]_.
The primal-dual path following method begins with initial 'guesses' of
the primal and dual variables of the standard form problem and iteratively
attempts to solve the (nonlinear) Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions for the
problem with a gradually reduced logarithmic barrier term added to the
objective. This particular implementation uses a homogeneous self-dual
formulation, which provides certificates of infeasibility or unboundedness
where applicable.
The default initial point for the primal and dual variables is that
defined in [4]_ Section 4.4 Equation 8.22. Optionally (by setting initial
point option ``ip=True``), an alternate (potentially improved) starting
point can be calculated according to the additional recommendations of
[4]_ Section 4.4.
A search direction is calculated using the predictor-corrector method
(single correction) proposed by Mehrota and detailed in [4]_ Section 4.1.
(A potential improvement would be to implement the method of multiple
corrections described in [4]_ Section 4.2.) In practice, this is
accomplished by solving the normal equations, [4]_ Section 5.1 Equations
8.31 and 8.32, derived from the Newton equations [4]_ Section 5 Equations
8.25 (compare to [4]_ Section 4 Equations 8.6-8.8). The advantage of
solving the normal equations rather than 8.25 directly is that the
matrices involved are symmetric positive definite, so Cholesky
decomposition can be used rather than the more expensive LU factorization.
With default options, the solver used to perform the factorization depends
on third-party software availability and the conditioning of the problem.
For dense problems, solvers are tried in the following order:
1. ``scipy.linalg.cho_factor``
2. ``scipy.linalg.solve`` with option ``sym_pos=True``
3. ``scipy.linalg.solve`` with option ``sym_pos=False``
4. ``scipy.linalg.lstsq``
For sparse problems:
1. ``sksparse.cholmod.cholesky`` (if scikit-sparse and SuiteSparse are installed)
2. ``scipy.sparse.linalg.factorized``
(if scikit-umfpack and SuiteSparse are installed)
3. ``scipy.sparse.linalg.splu`` (which uses SuperLU distributed with SciPy)
4. ``scipy.sparse.linalg.lsqr``
If the solver fails for any reason, successively more robust (but slower)
solvers are attempted in the order indicated. Attempting, failing, and
re-starting factorization can be time consuming, so if the problem is
numerically challenging, options can be set to bypass solvers that are
failing. Setting ``cholesky=False`` skips to solver 2,
``sym_pos=False`` skips to solver 3, and ``lstsq=True`` skips
to solver 4 for both sparse and dense problems.
Potential improvements for combatting issues associated with dense
columns in otherwise sparse problems are outlined in [4]_ Section 5.3 and
[10]_ Section 4.1-4.2; the latter also discusses the alleviation of
accuracy issues associated with the substitution approach to free
variables.
After calculating the search direction, the maximum possible step size
that does not activate the non-negativity constraints is calculated, and
the smaller of this step size and unity is applied (as in [4]_ Section
4.1.) [4]_ Section 4.3 suggests improvements for choosing the step size.
The new point is tested according to the termination conditions of [4]_
Section 4.5. The same tolerance, which can be set using the ``tol`` option,
is used for all checks. (A potential improvement would be to expose
the different tolerances to be set independently.) If optimality,
unboundedness, or infeasibility is detected, the solve procedure
terminates; otherwise it repeats.
The expected problem formulation differs between the top level ``linprog``
module and the method specific solvers. The method specific solvers expect a
problem in standard form:
Minimize::
c @ x
Subject to::
A @ x == b
x >= 0
Whereas the top level ``linprog`` module expects a problem of form:
Minimize::
c @ x
Subject to::
A_ub @ x <= b_ub
A_eq @ x == b_eq
lb <= x <= ub
where ``lb = 0`` and ``ub = None`` unless set in ``bounds``.
The original problem contains equality, upper-bound and variable constraints
whereas the method specific solver requires equality constraints and
variable non-negativity.
``linprog`` module converts the original problem to standard form by
converting the simple bounds to upper bound constraints, introducing
non-negative slack variables for inequality constraints, and expressing
unbounded variables as the difference between two non-negative variables.
