Solution only returning some decision variables


I am building a model with 624 decision variables. They are all continuous and have different lower and upper bounds. My problem is that when I print mdl.solution, the only decision variables that show are the ones with the lower bound -15 (from x48 to x192 and from x481 to x624). I am also using numpy arrays, however, the problem still stands if I cast them as lists.

Here is some code that might be useful to understand my problem:

horizon_t = 48

mdl.lb = np.hstack((np.zeros((horizon_t)), -15*np.ones((3*horizon_t)), np.zeros(6*horizon_t), -15*np.ones((3*horizon_t)))) 

mdl.ub = np.hstack((np.ones((horizon_t)), 15*np.ones((3*horizon_t)), np.ones(6*horizon_t), 15*np.ones((3*horizon_t))))

n_variables = 624

mdl.continuous_var_list(n_variables, mdl.lb, mdl.ub)

Thank you


Solution

  • is it a matter of not displaying 0 values ?

    For instance, if I change a bit the bus example:

    from docplex.mp.model import Model
    
    mdl = Model(name='buses')
    nbbus40 = mdl.integer_var(name='nbBus40')
    nbbus30 = mdl.integer_var(name='nbBus30')
    mdl.add_constraint(nbbus40*40  >= 300, 'kids')
    mdl.minimize(nbbus40*500)
    
    mdl.solve()
    
    for v in mdl.iter_integer_vars():
        print(v," = ",v.solution_value)
    print()
    
    print("default")
    mdl.print_solution()
    print()
    print("with 0")
    mdl.print_solution(print_zeros=True)
    

    gives

    nbBus40  =  8.0
    nbBus30  =  0
    
    default
    objective: 4000
      nbBus40=8
    
    with 0
    objective: 4000
      nbBus40=8
      nbBus30=0
