Changing parameter lists within the optimization
Answered
Hey guys,
I'm currently writing my Bachelor's Thesis about two models concerning optimal empty container management. I've ran into a problem that I haven't been able to solve for days. Here's the problem:
There are 21 storage yards that the model can consider to deliver empty containers to 50 shippers. There's a parameter p that tells the model how many storage yards out of the 21 it has to locate. For each shipper there is a list of the storage yards that ranks them according to distance to the yard (closest 1st, furthest 21st). Now I need the model to re-rank this list for each shipper according to p.
Example:
Original List "Shipper4": {1: "Yard3", 2: "Yard5", 3: "Yard1", 4: "Yard2", 5: "Yard4"}
New List if p = 3 and the model just locates Yards 1, 2, and 3 --> {1: "Yard3", 2: "Yard1", 3: "Yard2"}
How do I get this result? There is a binary variable that is 1 if a yard is located and 0 if it is not.
Thanks in advance

Hi Tristan,
I guess we would need more information in order to help you. Here are just some questions that come to my mind:
What are the (relevant) decision variables in your model?
When is the value of p determined? Is it a decision variable or a constant whose value you know when the model is built?
And when are the orders for the shippers determined? Are they inputs for your model?
Best regards,
