Sorry for double posting.

 

Actually you might want to try something to the affect of

 

c <=  d*b + e*a

Try thinking in terms of a Big M or large variable method.  For instance…

 

continuous variable _expression_  <  (some large number) (binary variable)

 

so you may do

 

_expression_ <= M * (a + b)

 

where M is a very large number

Hi There.
Using feedback I got from the mailing list, I was able to formulate binary conditional variables.

Now I'd like to be able to model conditional non-binary variables. Does anybody know how to formulate this in mathprog?

----------Begin Description -------------------
*) a,b are binary
*) c,d,e is continuous.
*) I'd like c to be
    - 0 if a=b=0
    - d if a=0,b=1
    - e if a=1,b=0
    - 0 if a=b=1
----------End Description


Thanks much
Kretch
