After the model has been fully or partially built by calling routines from the NAG optimization modelling suite, e04tef may be used to set or modify a single element

c_{i}

in the (possibly sparse) linear objective function

c^{T} x

. This might be particularly helpful when the objective function needs to be extended after new variables have been added to the model by e04taf.

See Section 3.1 in the E04 Chapter Introduction for more details about the NAG optimization modelling suite.

5 Arguments

1: $handle$ – Type (c_ptr) Input: On entry: the handle to the problem. It needs to be initialized (e.g., by e04raf) and must not be changed between calls to the NAG optimization modelling suite.
2: $idxci$ – Integer Input: On entry: $i$ , the index of the element $c_{i}$ in the linear objective function.

Constraint: $1 \leq idxci \leq n$ , where $n$ is the total number of decision variables in the problem.
3: $ci$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input: On entry: $c_{i}$ , the new value of the element in the linear objective function.
4: $ifail$ – Integer Input/Output: On entry: ifail must be set to $0$ , $−1$ or $1$ to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.
A value of $0$ causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of $−1$ means that an error message is printed while a value of $1$ means that it is not.

If halting is not appropriate, the value $−1$ or $1$ is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value $1$ is recommended. Otherwise, the value $−1$ is recommended. When the value $- 1$ or $1$ is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.

On exit: $ifail = 0$ unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry

ifail = 0

−1

, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).

Errors or warnings detected by the routine:

$ifail = 1$: The supplied handle does not define a valid handle to the data structure for the NAG optimization modelling suite. It has not been properly initialized or it has been corrupted.

$ifail = 2$: The problem cannot be modified right now, the solver is running.

$ifail = 3$: The objective function is not linear.

$ifail = 8$: On entry, $idxci = ⟨ value ⟩$ and $n = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $1 \leq idxci \leq n$ .

$ifail = - 99$: An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.
