Indexing a variable with an initial value or constraint

Hi everyone.


I'm starting with Aimms, I have two questions

 

First

How can I index a variable with an initial value or constraint? .

For example

X (i) is the dependent variable of the set (for example 4 things) with index i.

And what I need is

X (1)> = 50
X (2) <= 250

 

Variable X {
    IndexDomain: i;
    Range: nonnegative;
}
 

Second

How can I implement or call benders decomposition modules, stochastic programming etc. inside the MainExecution procedure?


Thank you
Thanking you for your support.

Thank you very much. 

I'm going to check that. 

Best regards.

#1. As your constraint as two signs (<= and >=), you will need to declare two constraints. Use single quotes to refer to individual elements in your set. 

 

con1 with definition X(‘1’) >= 50

con2 with definition X(‘2’) <= 250

 

You can also extend this with the index, say you want X(2), X(3), X(4) to be <= 250 then 

 

Constraint conIndex {

    IndexDomain: i|ord(i) >= 2 and ord(i) <= 4;

    Definition: X(i) <= 250

}

 

Ord is the function which returns the position of the element in the set. Here, I assume your set starts at 1 - {1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ..} 

#2. You can look at these two examples for implementations of stochastic programming and bender’s decomposition in AIMMS.

Note that MainExecution is just a procedure which is linked to a keyboard shortcut, you can create new procedures as well.
