org.licas.ai_solver.model.comp.CompoundSolution

All Implemented Interfaces:

SolutionDef

Direct Known Subclasses:

HyperCompoundSolution

public class CompoundSolution
extends SolutionContainer

This class can be used to store a set of solutions that are related, or that should be processed together. Unlike a container, these solutions then need to be solved.

Constructor Detail

CompoundSolution

public CompoundSolution(java.lang.String thisName)

Create a new instance of CompoundSolution.

Parameters:

thisName - this compound solution name or ID.

Method Detail

randomiseNewSolutionOrder

public CompoundSolution randomiseNewSolutionOrder(CompoundSolution previousSolution)

Randomise the order of any new solutions since the previous solution set and return in a new compound solution. This implementation assumes that the list of solution names exactly matches the order of all stored solutions in the object. Note that a solution is always returned even if the order cannot be changed.

Parameters:

previousSolution - the previous compound solution to compare with.

Returns:

a new compound solution with the new solution order.

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Clone this object to create a copy of the main features.

Overrides:

clone in class SolutionContainer

Returns:

a cloned copy of this object.

toCompoundSolution

public static CompoundSolution toCompoundSolution(SolutionContainer compSoln)

Convert the solution container into a compound solution.

Parameters:

compSoln - the solution container to convert.

Returns:

a cloned copy of the solution list as a compound one.
