a suffix is missing error

GAMS
1

Hi everyone,


I am super new on Gams. It will be so nice for me if you can help me!

I used alias i and j to show people. And I defined the x(i) as a binary variable. and of course I have another binary which is x(j) but however I could not use this x(j) on any constraints.
The error says '‘a suffix is missing’'error 141 also error 143.


Thanks in advance

Please follow tutorials and examples from GAMS documentation. https://www.gams.com/latest/docs/UG_MAIN.html#UG_Tutorial_Examples

You have to define constraint name and constraint as follows.

equation
con1;

con1(i).. w(i)=e=sum(j,K(i,j)*x(j))*x(i);

further, this constraint is not the best way to model since it contains multiplication of two binary variables.
You can use big-M formulation to linearize this.

equations
con1a, con1b;

con1a(i).. w(i) =l= sum(j,K(i,j)*x(j)) + M*(1- x(i));
con1b(i).. w(i) =l= M*x(i);

where I assume you have defined w as a positive variable; M is a big enough number (usually upper bound on w).

In your previous code, you defined w as a variable. In this code, you are defining it as a parameter (I think it should be a variable). This will be enough to get rid of your error.

I see that you have -w(i) in the objective which makes me rethink my constraints. If you are maximizing your objective, then the current constraints should work.
However, if you are minimizing, we need to do more.


eq5(i)…w(i)=l=sum(j, K(i,j)x(j))+Mi(1-x(i));
eq5a(i)…w(i)=g=sum(j, K(i,j)x(j))-Mi(1-x(i));

eq6(i)…w(i)=l=Mix(i);
eq6a(i)…w(i)=g=-Mix(i);

This is a better way.

Thanks again, it worked!

Hey there! Greetings!
So, is it possible to do so? I’m encounter the same problem where my previous part was equation and then i want to use some of the variable from the previous part to next part(parameter). If yes, how should i correct my equations? Actually i need the model to help me find the Frij and MFij, then the rest of the equation should use parameter section to calculate. But yeah, i encounter the error code “A suffix is missing…”, many thanks!
