Recompute dual variables and check dual feasibility after basis repair - #1965
Conversation
After basis repair, we recompute dual variables using the working objective. We check the new dual variables for feasibility. If infeasible, we try to restore feasibility by flipping boxed nonbasic variables to their opposite bounds. If recovery fails, we return numerical failure. Callers that cannot recover from basis repairs also propagate numerical failure. We report repaired columns separately from remaining factorization deficiencies. On 34 fast to solve MIPLIB problems, basis repair occurred on 13 problems. In a subsequent run of those 13 problems on this branch, 12,367 basis repairs occurred. Of the 12,327 evaluated by dual-feasibility recovery, 1,972 produced dual infeasibility, 1,509 were recovered by flipping bounds, and 463 remained infeasible.

Check y and z after the initial basis refactor.
A failed repaired factorization already returns dual_status_t::NUMERICAL. However, a successful repaired factorization returns zero, and this path then recomputes y and z without validating them. If either value is non-finite, bounded nonbasic variables can skip every z comparison in set_primal_variables_on_bounds and reach its assertion fallback. In release builds, the assertion is disabled and x and vstatus remain stale.
Add the finite check after the reduced-cost computation:
🐛 Proposed fix
phase2::compute_reduced_costs(
objective, lp.A, y, basic_list, nonbasic_list, z, phase2_work_estimate);
+ if (!all_finite(y) || !all_finite(z)) { return dual_status_t::NUMERICAL; }🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

I'm confused, if we ever perform basis repair we validate that the new y and z are finite and dual feasible.

@chris-maes, the later repair paths do validate y and z. The initial basis-refactorization path does not.
This path stores deficient_repaired, but it does not use it after ft.refactor_basis(...). It then recomputes y and z and calls set_primal_variables_on_bounds(...).
recover_dual_feasibility_after_repair(...) performs the finite-value and dual-feasibility checks, but the initial path does not call it. My finding applies only to that initial path.

What do you mean the initial basis refactorization path? You mean if initialize_basis is true?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@chris-maes, yes.
I mean the ft.refactor_basis(...) call inside:
if (initialize_basis) {
...
}The concern applies when that call repairs one or more deficient columns (deficient_repaired > 0).
The later refactor paths call recover_dual_feasibility_after_repair(...) after a repair. This initial path currently does not. It proceeds directly to recompute y and z, then calls set_primal_variables_on_bounds(...).
The initial path should either call recover_dual_feasibility_after_repair(...) when deficient_repaired > 0, or at minimum perform the finite-value check from the finding. The recovery call is more consistent with the later paths because it also restores dual feasibility.

We would need to confirm the results on the whole suite, other than this looks good to me!
