add a constraint in JuMP

I'm trying to add a constraint to a JuMP model in Julia as follows:

@constraint(m, sum{z[i,j]>=2, i in N, j in K})

where N and K are two sets.

But, when I debug it, I get the following error message.

LoadError: In @constraint(m,sum{z[i,j] >= 2,i in N,j in K}): Constraints must be in one of the following forms:
   expr1 <= expr2
   expr1 >= expr2
   expr1 == expr2
   lb <= expr <= ub

Can someone please help me to resolve this error?

Solution

  • I believe you meant to write: @constraint(m, sum{z[i,j], i in N, j in K}>=2)

    The inequality should be outside the sum. Because you want the sum of all values, to be at least 2.
