Re: [Help-glpk] piecewise linear function

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

Hello Giovanni,

please, read doc/gmpl.pdf which comes with the GLPK source.

The <<>> syntax may exist in AMPL but it does not exist in GMPL.

Depending on your piecewise linear function being concave or convex you can replace it with some linear constraints or you will have to introduce extra binary variables.

Best regards

Heinrich

I am trying to use such functions but I get a syntax error. 

In particular, this is my program, taken by the following book chapter:

https://ampl.com/BOOK/CHAPTERS/20-piecewise.pdf

set ORIG; # origins

set DEST; # destinations

param supply {ORIG} >= 0; # amounts available at origins

param demand {DEST} >= 0; # amounts required at destinations

check: sum {i in ORIG} supply[i] = sum {j in DEST} demand[j];

param rate1 {i in ORIG, j in DEST} >= 0;

param rate2 {i in ORIG, j in DEST} >= rate1[i,j];

param rate3 {i in ORIG, j in DEST} >= rate2[i,j];

param limit1 {i in ORIG, j in DEST} > 0;

param limit2 {i in ORIG, j in DEST} > limit1[i,j];

var Trans {ORIG,DEST} >= 0; # units to be shipped

minimize Total_Cost: sum {i in ORIG, j in DEST}

<<limit1[i,j], limit2[i,j];

rate1[i,j], rate2[i,j], rate3[i,j]>> Trans[i,j];

subject to Supply {i in ORIG}:

sum {j in DEST} Trans[i,j] = supply[i];

subject to Demand {j in DEST}:

sum {i in ORIG} Trans[i,j] = demand[j];

When I try to make glpk parse it, I get the following error:

glpsol --model glpk/Test --data /tmp/DATAg5ZQ0L -w /tmp/OUTXlm0ST

GLPSOL: GLPK LP/MIP Solver, v4.61

Parameter(s) specified in the command line:

 --model glpk/Test --data /tmp/DATAg5ZQ0L -w /tmp/OUTXlm0ST

Reading model section from glpk/Test...

glpk/Test:14: syntax error in _expression_

Context: ...>= 0 ; minimize Total_Cost : sum { i in ORIG , j in DEST } <

MathProg model processing error

I really have no clue as of now.

Thanks
