What is the best way to deal with this kind of key error in pyomo?


I am working on a LP model with pyomo,but when I create constraint, it shows a key error of 'can not find a certain combination'. I know list all the combinations can solve this problem. But the real data has many combinations. Is there any easy way to deal with this knid of problem? thanks!Here is a simple example:

This is a similar question for reference: Is there an easier way to avoid this kind of index key error of pyomo?

from pyomo.environ import *
import pandas as pd 
data = [['tom','A', 10], ['nick','A', 15], ['juli','B',14]]
df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns = ['Name','Type', 'Age'])  
#set
A = set(df['Name'])
B = set(df['Type'])
model = ConcreteModel()
#parameter
C= df.set_index(['Name','Type'])['Age'].to_dict()
#varibale
model.AB = Var(A,B,domain = NonNegativeReals)
#constraint1
def cons1(model,a,b):
    return(model.AB[a,b]<=C[a,b])
model.Cons1 = Constraint(A,B,rule = cons1)
#constraint2
def cons2(model,a):
    return(sum(model.AB[a,b]<=C[a,b] for b in B)<=1)
model.Cons2 = Constraint(A,rule = cons2)

Solution

  • Starting with the solution given in your previous question and fixing what I think is a typo in your second constraint, the trick is to check if the (a,b) pair is in the set IJ when iterating over B in the sum:

    from pyomo.environ import *
    import pandas as pd 
    data = [['tom','A', 10], ['nick','A', 15], ['juli','B',14], ['juli','A',14]]
    df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns = ['Name','Type', 'Age'])  
    #set
    A = set(df['Name'])
    B = set(df['Type'])
    model = ConcreteModel()
    #parameter
    C= df.set_index(['Name','Type'])['Age'].to_dict()
    #varibale
    model.IJ = Set(initialize=C.keys())
    model.AB = Var(model.IJ,domain = NonNegativeReals)
    #constraint1
    def cons1(model,a,b):
        return(model.AB[a,b]<=C[a,b])
    model.Cons1 = Constraint(model.IJ,rule = cons1)
    
    def cons2(model,a):
        return(sum(model.AB[a,b] for b in B if (a,b) in model.IJ)<=1)
    model.Cons2 = Constraint(A,rule = cons2)
