GLPK/GMPL: Minimize objective function but keep it > 0
I am trying to minimize an objective function that has three parameters: i, p, j like this:
param mlu{i in I, p in P, j in out[p]} := traffic[i,p]/capacity[j];
minimize MAXLU{i in I, p in P, j in out[p]}: mlu[i,p,j] * x[i,p,j];
but the objective…

Objective function consists of discrete and continuous parts CppAD ::ipopt
I am solving an optimization problem based on CppAD::ipopt library.
My objective function Z = Z1 + Z2.
The decision variables are x1 and x2.
Z1 is a continuous function
Z2 = V[f(x1, x2)]
(Z1 based on a vector V, and index of vector V depends on…

Quadratic objective function in Gurobi
I am building a model with a quadratic objective function. But I am having trouble on how to code it.
v is a matrix of coefficients.
This is the original objective:
x = m.addMVar(shape=n, vtype=GRB.BINARY, name="x") # binary var
m.setObjective(v…

How can I insert this objective function min W with its two constraints on Gurobi using Java? How do I initialise w?
I tried to initialise like this but it's wrong
GRBVar w = null;
GRBLinExpr obj = new GRBLinExpr();
obj.addTerm(1, w);
model.setObjective(obj);
model.set(GRB.IntAttr.ModelSense, GRB.MINIMIZE);
These are the two constraints
w >= xir…
