optimizing an objective function with domain

hy,

this is my first attempt to model an electricity auction market with
GAMS.
it’s complete so far, but at the end i’m dealing with the problem that
i want to maximize the profit-function for every single supplier. it
looks like this “profit(supp)” and i got the error message “dimension
different”. the GAMS user guide told me that the objective function
has to be free in sign AND of domains… which i did no know when i
started to write the model.

is there any simple way like a loop to optimize one hundred profit
functions?
or do i have to write the equations, the solve statement and the
output statements a hundres times?

thanks a lot
steven

Dear Steven,

a while ago I had a similar case, where I wanted to loop my program a
few times.

The answer from Michael in this post helped me a great deal:

Also the following answer is also a good alternative method using
loops directly, though I preferred the first one since I can control
the values there.

Kind Regards
Christian
