<br><div dir="ltr">It looks correct to me (without knowing what the second objective is). SYMPHONY converts all problems to minimization internally, so the negative objective values are just because we don't check whether the problem was maximization and negate the objective values if it is. This should be easy to change. You can file a ticket and I'll try to get to it.<br>

<br></div>At the moment, setting the objective coefficients one by one is the only way to specify a second objective through the API. Of course, you can also just directly set the objective function in SYMPHONY's internal representation of the instance.<br>
<br>I have plans to improve this and to add the ability to specify two objectives through a modeling language, such as GMPL, but I haven't gotten to it yet.<br><br></div>Cheers,<br><br></div>Ted<br></div><div>
