Making both Candidate_Subblock and Subblock_Difference as a subset of Subblock and change the definition of Subblock_Difference like below should work.
Identifier: Subblock
Index: k
Identifier: Candidate_Subblock
Subset of: Subblock
Index: Ks
Identifier: Subblock_Difference
Subset of: Subblock
Index: Kw
Definition: Subblock - Candidate_Subblock
Thank you so much! It worked! Now my constraint will be written
sum(Kw, x(v,k))=0
or
sum[(k|Kw, x(v,k))] = 0
?
sum(Kw, x(v,kw))=0 will work.
you can use the index of the subset so it will only apply those elements in the subset.
Thank you! I have one last question,
how do I code constraint 7 and 9? Cause I’m not quite sure with the “:” in it. Sorry! Thank you
what does ": " mean?
it’s “for which”
care for some more explanation on the meaning of the constraint and index? otherwise, I do not know how to help here.
Constraint 7:
YL(k,t) - Binary Variable(set to 1 if subblock k executes loading activity in period t)
x(v,k) - Binary variable(1 if subblock K is reserved for vessel V)
Tv - subset of period/s when vessel v loads or unloads containers
constraint 7: denotes whether a subblock performs a loading/unloading activity
If Tv is input, which means it does not change depending on variables, what you can do is to introduce parameter As Tv. For example, Valid_v_t(v,t) is 1 if vessel v can load/unload at time t. then (7) can be something like
Identifier: constraint7
index domain: (k,t)
definition: gamma(k,t) = sum(v|Valid_v_t(v,t) , x(v,k))
