Crash statistics

If Major print level 10, the following items are output to the PRINT file when Start = 'Cold' and no basis file is loaded.

They refer to the number of columns that the CRASH procedure selects during several passes through A while searching for a triangular basis matrix.

Description

Slacks

is the number of slacks selected initially.

Free cols

is the number of free columns in the basis, including those whose bounds are rather far apart.

Preferred

is the number of "preferred'' columns in the basis (i.e., hs(j) = 3 for some j n).  It will be a subset of the columns for which hs(j) = 3 was specified.

Unit

is the number of unit columns in the basis.

Double

is the number of columns in the basis containing 2 nonzeros.

Triangle

is the number of triangular columns in the basis with 3 or more nonzeros.

Pad

is the number of slacks used to pad the basis (to make it a nonsingular triangle).
