Give a solution to the solver

[TeXitoi]

Hi again!

Most, if not all, of the solver allow to give a feasible solution to the solver. I have a case where I have a solution that is optimal, but I don’t know the optimality. The solver find as a bound the objective value, but continue to search as it doesn’t find the solution. For some solver, it can also improve the resolution.

Can we add this feature? Any remark? How to manage the case of the solver that doesn’t support it (I suspect the executable interface doesn’t always allow this)?a

Yes, that would be nice! It should be a trait implemented by solvers that have this ability. Do you want to open a pull request ?

I might try when I have the time. I’ll ping here if I start.
