Reformulate constraints
I have the following constraints and am wondering whether I can formulate the whole thing more narrowly and with fewer constraints. $x_{itk}$ is binary and $u_{it}, v_{itk}\in [0,1]$. $M$ is a Big-M ...

Why are these two constraint equations not equivalent?
I've made a CP Model of an hospital in ILOG CPLEX and I want to test the performance of the CPLEX version of it.
In my CP model, I have the following constraint :
...

Converting a piecewise function to linear equations
I am trying to build a MILP model. In this model, I have a dependent variable (alpha) that its value depends on the value of some other variables (or different combination of some other variables). In ...

Matrix lookup modelling variants
As part of a bigger model I have a matrix of variables $x_{ij} \geq 0$ and a "selector" set of variables $y_j \in \{0,1\}, \sum_j y_j = 1$.
From $x_{ij}$ I'd like to get the variables of ...

Linearization of Conditional Constraints for MIP using Cplex
I'm currently working on a mixed-integer programming (MIP) problem and I'm trying to implement a set of conditional constraints in CPlex. These constraints involve decision variables that are indexed ...

Rewriting if-then constraints of binary summations
Suppose both $x_{i,j}^{ab}$ and $y_{i,j}^a$ are binaries. Then how can I rewrite the following if-then in linear form?
$\sum_b x_{i,j}^{ab} \ge 1 \implies \sum_{i,j} y_{i,j}^a = 0$
I was thinking of ...

How to enforce logical implication $\sum_j a_j x_j \le b \implies \sum_j c_j x_j \le d$
Some modeling languages and solvers support indicator constraints of the form $$y=\hat{y} \implies \sum_j a_j x_j \le b,$$ where $y$ is a binary decision variable and $\hat{y}\in\{0,1\}$ is a constant....

How to model logic constraint: $y=1$ if $a\le x\le b$ and $y=0$ otherwise?
I am trying to formulate indicator-type of constraints. $y$ is binary $0$ or $1$ and $x$ is a continuous variable.
$$ y =
\begin{cases}
1, & \text{ if } a \leq x \leq b \\
0, & \...

Converting if conditions to linear constraints
I have an optimization problem and I want to convert the following if conditions to linear constraints:
If $(y_1 > U_1)$ and $(m_1)$ and $(E_1)$ then $x_1=1$
If $(y_2 > U_2)$ and $(m_2)$ and $(...

Can you calculate the mean of some MIP variables using linear constraints?
got a lingering question from a graduate course in integer programming that's been bugging me ever since.
Is it possible to find the mean of some variables in a MIP without resorting to quadratic ...

Model "if and only if" indicator constraints in Linear programming
Apologies if this question has been asked, but I haven't been able to find it. I'm modelling something with Gurobi and want to do the following:
\begin{align}\text{cond} < \dfrac{1}{3} &\iff x =...

MILP constrained by the minimum number of satisfied constraints
I have an MILP where we have
$$
t_k = \sum_i P_i\cdot C_{ik} : P_i\ \in \{0,1\}, C_{ik} \in I^+
$$
and our model is constrained by the number of times $t_k$ is bigger than a certain value $T_k$.
$$
\...

Switching of decision variables to be larger than or equal to a decision variable according to an indicator variable value
I would like to seek some advice on modeling the following:
I have two integer decisions variables, $x, x'$, that are either equal or greater than zero and either of them is greater than or equal to a ...

Linearize sum of continuous and boolean variable
For maximizing the objective function $\sum_i{d_i y_i}+ A x - B \cdot \mathbb{I}_{x>0}$, how can I linearize $ A x - B \cdot \mathbb{I}_{x>0}$ term where $d_i, A$ and $B$ are positive constants ...
