Hi 

I only recently started working with the  Python API (Gurobi 9.1), which support matrix friendly modelling. Particularly, I have a problem that is naturally expressed in terms in matrix/vector form. say that I have a Mvar variable in the form:

\[\mathbf{x}=[x_1,x_2,...,x_N]^T\]

I would like to add a piecewise linear constraint in my problem in the form:

\[y=f(x_i)\]

where \(x_i\) is a single element of vector \(\mathbf{x}\). It seems that using x[i] as the xvar attribute of function GRBModel.addGenConstrPWL() returns an error,  so I was wondering whether there is any way to work around this in the Python API that allow to treat elements of a Mvar as standard scalar variables. If not, can I check whether the Matlab API would instead support this kind of statements?

Thanks advance,

Marco

  Hi Marco,

  You could try to convert the \(\texttt{MVar}\) object to a nested list of Var objects via

  mvars = m.addMVar(10, name="myMVars")
  mvars_as_vars = mvars.tolist()
  m.addGenConstrPWL(mvars_as_vars[0], mvars_as_vars[1], [0,1,2], [1.5,0,3], "myPWLConstr")

  You will have to use the latest version of Gurobi to make it work as described above.

  Best regards,
  Jaromił
