Validation Rule: | In (0,1,2,3,4) |
Description: | Type of decision variable (continuous or integer). |
Detail: |
Decision Variable Type sets the type for the decision variable in the mathematical programming formulation. It can take one of the following values:
- Continuous (value = 0, default)
- The decision variables associated with the object are continuous and may take any value between the Lower Bound and Upper Bound.
- Integer (value = 1)
- The decision variables are integer and can take any integer value between the Lower Bound and Upper Bound.
- Binary (value = 2)
- The decision variables are binary i.e. integer with bounds (0, 1). Any defined Lower Bound and Upper Bound are ignored.
- Semi-continuous (value = 3)
- The decision variables make take the value zero or any value in the range between the Lower Bound and Upper Bound.
- Semi-integer (value = 4)
- This is the same as Semi-continuous except the variables must take integer values in the range between the Lower Bound and Upper Bound.
