使用 PuLP 的整数线性规划问题

Question

我正在尝试使用 PuLP 解决此 ILP。 问题指出，我们需要尽量减少建造仓库的成本。我们需要根据最低的成本来决定建哪个仓库。这是LP的样子

min ∑transportcost * X_i, ∑fixedcost * Y_j

[其中 i & j 是仓库# = 1/2/3]

约束应该是： X_i & Y_j 应该属于 0 或 1，因为它们是决策变量 X_i == Y_j

这是我写的代码

import pulp
from pulp import *
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

n_warehouse = 3

warehouse_fixed_costs = [100, 120, 80]
cost_per_km = [3,3,3]
distances = [20, 30, 45]
transport_costs = [cost_per_km[i]*distances[i] for i in range(len(cost_per_km))]
warehouses = ['1','2','3']

model = LpProblem("Supply-Demand", LpMinimize)

transport_warehouse_dv = LpVariable.matrix("X", warehouses, cat = "Binary", lowBound = 0)
transport_warehouse_allocation = np.array(transport_warehouse_dv)

fixed_cost_warehouse_dv = LpVariable.matrix("Y", warehouses, cat = "Binary", lowBound = 0)
fixed_cost_warehouse_allocation = np.array(fixed_cost_warehouse_dv)

obj_func = lpSum(transport_costs*transport_warehouse_allocation)
obj_func += lpSum(warehouse_fixed_costs*fixed_cost_warehouse_allocation)
model += obj_func

const = lpSum(transport_warehouse_allocation) == fixed_cost_warehouse_allocation, "Warehouse decision"
model += const

model

这是创建的模型：

供需：

最小化 60X_1 + 90X_2 + 135X_3 + 100Y_1 + 120Y_2 + 80Y_3 + 0

受 Warehouse_decision 的影响：X_1 + X_2 + X_3 - Y_1 - Y_2 - Y_3 = 0

变量 0

当我求解模型时，我得到了最优解，但没有一个决策变量保持值为 1。总成本也为 0。理想情况下，答案应该是 160，因为仓库 1 的成本最低。

我不确定我错过了什么。我之前没有使用过 PuLP，所以我无法弄清楚原因。

正如 Erwin 指出的那样，最便宜的选择是不建造任何仓库。

您需要添加一个约束来强制构建一个仓库

warehouse_fixed_costs = [100, 120, 80]

model = LpProblem("Supply-Demand", LpMinimize)

model += lpSum(build_warehouse_flag) == warehouses_to_build

# cost to be minimized
obj = lpSum([trans_cost * flag for trans_cost, flag in zip(transport_costs, build_warehouse_flag)])

solver = PULP_CBC_CMD()
model.solve(solver)

print("------------------ build results -----------------------")
