Hi, The "best bound" column in the CPLEX log refers to the best bound that is known so far. Look for example at the following excerpt of a CPLEX log for a maximization problem. Nodes Cuts/ Node Left Objective IInf Best Integer Best Bound ItCnt Gap 0 0 29.5688 108 29.5688 157 [...] * 0+ 0 8.0000 26.3...

Hi,

"best possible" refers to the value of the best bound on the objective function value.

I hope this helps!

1- I have an Integer Linear programming problem I solved it using CPLEX solver (mip) with optcr=0 does this provide a local optimal solution or global solution? A global optimal solution. If a use BARON (mip) instead will it be able to provide the global optimal solution as it is a deterministic gl...

Hi,

Not sure how your model is related to the marco model from the library (it looks very different).
In equation BlendingProperties you multiply variables . So your model is definitely not linear.

I hope this helps!

Hi,

To provide help it would be good to be able to reproduce the observed behavior. Maybe you can share the missing include files?

[...]why my objective function is negative when all its constituents bear a positive value.

Your lst file shows that many of the constituents of the objective function do not bear a positive value.

I hope this helps!

Hi, I cannot reproduce your findings. The equation listing shows ---- OBJECTIVE =E= OBJECTIVE..

Hi Eric,

You might want to read about multi-dimensional sets (https://www.gams.com/latest/docs/UG_Set ... sionalSets) to figure out how to implement a mapping between your sets t and s.

I hope this helps!

Hi,

Did you look at the lst file? It usually provides meaningful error messages (search for ****).
It might help, if you share your code, so other forum users can reproduce the issue.

Best,
Fred

Hi,

Could you share the GDX files such that one could actually run the gms file to reproduce this?

Best,
