Part VInfeasibility and UnboundednessThe topics discussed in Continuous Optimization on page 169 and Discrete Optimization onpage 253 often contained the implicit assumption that a bounded feasible solution to yourmodel actually exists. This part of the manual discusses what steps to try when the outcomeof an optmization is a declaration that your model is either:●infeasible; that is, no solution exists that satisfies all the constraints, bounds, andintegrality restrictions;or● unbounded; that is, the objective function can be made arbitrarily large; a more carefuldefinition of unbounded is provided in What Is Unboundedness? on page 388.Infeasibility and unboundedness are closely related topics in optimization theory, andtherefore certain of the concepts for one will have direct relation to the other. This partcontains:◆ Preprocessing and Feasibility on page 385◆ Managing Unboundedness on page 387◆ Diagnosing Infeasibility by Refining Conflicts on page 391◆ Repairing Infeasibilities with FeasOpt on page 409As you know, <strong>ILOG</strong> <strong>CPLEX</strong> can provide solution information about the models that itoptimizes. For infeasible outcomes, it reports values that you can analyze to detect what in
