I have a continuous variable $c$ which has value in between $[-R, +R]$. I want to create a boolean variable $x$ and, $x = 1$ when $c = 1.0$ otherwise $x = 0$ In more general form: $x = 1$ when $c \...

Suppose we have the constraint $$a_1x_1 + \cdots + a_nx_n \gtreqless b,$$ where $a_i$ and $b$ are constants and $x_i$ are decision variables. Suppose also that we want the constraint to hold if $y=1$ (...

How to formulate (linearize) a maximum function in a constraint? Suppose $C = \max \{c_1, c_2\}$, where both $c_1$ and $c_2$ are variables. If the objective function is minimizing $C$, then it can be ...

For continuous variables $x$ and $y$, the constraints are: ...

Let $\mathcal{U} = \{ [x_1, ..., x_n] \in \mathbb{R}^n : 0 \leq x_i \leq 1\}$ be the unit hypercube and $C \in \mathbb{R}^n\setminus\mathcal{U}$ fixed. Let us consider the following problem $$ \max_{X ...

I need to formulate a conditional constraint for a binary variable z defined as: $z_{i,j,k}$, $\ \ i=1:10 \ , \ j=1:5 \ , \ k=1:3$ If any $z_{i,j,3} = 1$ then $z_{i,j,1} + z_{i,j,2} = 0 \ \ \...

Somehow I don't get it right. I would like to model the following conditional: If $A\le B$ then $Y=1$ otherwise $Y=0$ where $A, B$ are reals and $Y$ is binary. I can model as follows: $Y \cdot A \le B$...

Innocently cross-posted at Mathematics SE I am developing a model that operates in the realm of mixed integer programming, although I am fairly unfamiliar with this area of mathematics at the moment. ...

I would like to know how if condition statements in linear programming can be reformulated using indicator constraints, and hence solved as a mixed integer linear program. Specifically: 1. Is it ...

Let $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$ be an optimization variable. Now, at a constraint, I would like to count how many times a value, say $2$, appears in $x$ decision. I think we can have a binary variable $y_i$...

I would like to model the following: Only one of the following equalities can hold. $$(A_1 = B_1)\quad\text{OR}\quad(A_2 = B_2)\quad\text{OR}\quad\dots\quad\text{OR}\quad(A_k = B_k)$$ I can ...

I have two continuous variables $A$, $B$ and two binary variables $x$, $y$. Condition: if $A = B \wedge x = 1 \wedge y=1$ then $z = 1$ else $z = 0$ from In an integer program, how I can force a ...

In a linear program, I would like some variables to: 1. Take the same values 2. Group some variables i.e. some variables should take same values or lie within certain percentage. 3. All different ...

The minimizing problem is the following : $$ \underset{w}{\operatorname{argmin}} \sum_{i=1}^{n}\left[w_{i}\times (\frac{Vw}{\sigma})_{i} - b_{i}\right]^{2}$$ with $V$ a $n\times n$ matrix (covariance ...

How can I create constraints to make sure $x=1$ if $k\geq 0$ and $x=0$ if $k<0$, where $x\in \{0,1\}$ and $k\in \mathbb{R}$? Here is my attempt: \begin{equation}\label{cons:1} \begin{aligned} ...
