Path solver restart options

Hello all,

I’m writing to you to see if you can give some help about this problem. I’m solving a MCP model with PATH, wich takes too long to solve unless I set the right options. However, for some reason I am not being able to do that properly.

After two restarts the problem solves very fast, and the options reported by path are:

Restart Log
proximal_perturbation 0
crash_method none
crash_perturb no
nms_initial_reference_factor 10
nms_memory_size 2
nms_mstep_frequency 1
lemke_search_type slack


I generated an opt file:

(gms listing)
$onecho > path.opt
proximal_perturbation=0
crash_method=none
crash_perturb=0
nms_initial_reference_factor=10
nms_memory_size=2
nms_mstep_frequency=1
lemke_start_type=slack
$offecho
However, it doesn’t accelerate the solution, and it stills takes two restarts, even though it seems to be read ok:

(log listing)
Reading parameter(s) from “D:\nn\path.opt”

proximal_perturbation=0
crash_method=none
crash_perturb=0
nms_initial_reference_factor=10
nms_memory_size=2
nms_mstep_frequency=1
lemke_start_type=slack
I’m guessing two possible issues, and I’ll be grateful if you can help me:

Hello All,

In a GAMS Code i have to define a continuous variable Cmin(i).
This variable is:
Cmin = Minimum of ( CpwFin(i), CpoFmax(i))

Here Cpw and Cpo are scalars, Fmax(i) is a parameter and Fin(i) is a continuous variable.

How can i do this in GAMS. Pls suggest.
