Define a variable using different sets

[Archiver]

Hi everyone,

I need your help in solving this problem I have. Suppose I have 2 sets, i and j (both holds values from 1 to 5). How to define a variable V such that it can be used as both V(i) and V(j) in an equation. For example, I want to set an equation (constraint) that says V(i) + V(k) =e= 1, but I can't assign both i and k to the same variable V. I have tried creating another variable Vv(k) but then this produces wrong results.

Thank you.

Hi Tri



It is not completely clear for me what you intent is. If you want to use both V(i) and V(j), you could define the set i and define an alias (alias(i,j)). But then your equation doesn’t make much sense for this would mean that all V(i) and V(k) are equal to 0.5.

Could you explain in more detail what you want to achieve?

Cheers

Renger

Hi Renger.

Thank you for your prompt reply. Basically, I'm learning gams and I'm trying to replicate this system as shown. I have included set i and j to show the flow from one equipment to another. In addition, under parameters, I've included the length and width parameters as: length(i) and width(i). however, these parameters applies for j as well as they represent the same equipment. I'm unsure of how I could phrase the problem such that I'm not double counting the equipment.

Hope that this is clearer for you.

Hi Tri



Perhaps this is helpful:



Set i equipment /1*5/;

Alias(i,j);



Parameter

Connections(i,j) Available connections between equipment,

Width(i) Witdh of instrument,

Length(i) Length of instrument;



Connections(i,j) = 0;

Connections(“1”,”2”) = 1;

Connections(“2”,”3”) = 1;

Connections(“1”,”3”) = 1;

Connections(“1”,”2”) = 1;

Connections(“2”,”4”) = 1;

Connections(“4”,”5”) = 1;



Variable F(i,j) Flow from i to j;



Equations

balance(i,j) outgoing flow is equal to 90% of ingoing flow;



Balance(i)..

0.9 * Sum(j$connections(j,i), Flow(j,i)) =E= sum(k$connections(i,k), Flow(i,k));



Hope this helps



Cheers

Renger
