Constraints
Step-by-step we ideate model variables and constraints, jotting these down initially as natural language comments in our new AMPL model.mod file.
The Five Parts of an Optimization Model
Model-Data Separation
Constraints

Objectives
Use Case
An invitation to consider the application of mathematical optimization in light of the view expressed by Kenneth O. Stanley and Joel Lehman in their book ‘Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned’ (2015). I posit that a richness of possible solutions can in many use cases be more valuable than a closer-to-optimum objective value.
