Formulation

Formulation for Hamiltonian Cycle use case.

HamiltonianCycleFormulation

Bases: UcFormulation[HamiltonianCycleData, HamiltonianCycleSolution]

Constraint-based formulation for Hamiltonian Cycle.

Mathematical Formulation
Index:
    i, j -- node indices
    p    -- position index

Decision Variables:
    x[i,p] in {0, 1} -- 1 if node i is at position p in the cycle.

Objective:
    minimize 0 (feasibility problem)

Constraints:
    1. Each node exactly one position: sum_p x[i,p] == 1 for each i
    2. Each position exactly one node: sum_i x[i,p] == 1 for each p
    3. Consecutive nodes connected: for each position p, for each
       non-edge (i,j): x[i,p] + x[j,(p+1)%n] <= 1

Collection

Collection of Hamiltonian Cycle instances.

HamiltonianCycleCollection

Bases: UcInstanceCollection[HamiltonianCycleInstance]

Collection of Hamiltonian Cycle instances.

This collection provides methods to generate benchmark instances with various characteristics for testing and evaluation.

from_random(min_nodes: int | None = None, max_nodes: int | None = None, edge_prob: float = 0.5, num_instances: int = 1, *, sizes: Sequence[int] | None = None, seed: int | None = None) -> HamiltonianCycleCollection classmethod

Generate random Hamiltonian Cycle instances.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
min_nodes int | None

Minimum number of nodes.

None
max_nodes int | None

Maximum number of nodes.

None
edge_prob float

Edge probability, by default 0.5.

0.5
num_instances int

Number of instances per size, by default 1.

1
seed int | None

Random seed for reproducibility, by default None.

None
sizes Sequence[int] | None

Explicit sizes to generate, e.g. [10, 50, 100], instead of a range. Mutually exclusive with min_nodes/max_nodes, by default None.

None

Returns:

Type Description
HamiltonianCycleCollection

Collection containing generated instances.

Examples:

>>> collection = HamiltonianCycleCollection.from_random(
...     min_nodes=3,
...     max_nodes=6,
...     num_instances=2,
...     seed=42,
... )

filter_infeasible(max_runtime: float = 3600, *, quiet: bool = True) -> list[bool]

Drop the instances of this collection that have no feasible solution.

Every instance is formulated and handed to SCIP, which stops as soon as it finds the first feasible solution. An instance is removed from the collection when SCIP proves the model infeasible, when no solution turns up within max_runtime, or when formulating it fails altogether. This keeps randomly generated instances from breaking a downstream pipeline.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
max_runtime float

SCIP time limit per instance in seconds. Must be positive. Defaults to 3600 seconds.

3600
quiet bool

Suppress the SCIP solver output.

True

Returns:

Type Description
list[bool]

Feasibility mask over the instances as they were before filtering, in that order: True where the instance was kept, False where it was removed.

Raises:

Type Description
ValueError

If max_runtime is not positive.
