Optimizing with Arrays

Analytica Optimizer GuideOptimizing with Arrays

This chapter shows you how to optimize using Decision and Constraint arrays and identify indexes that are intrinsic to the optimization. It discusses how to enter intrinsic arrays in Intrinsic Index lists, use Analytica’s Intelligent Array logic to set up multiple optimizations, refine a model by changing dimensions of the decision array, and Incorporate piecewise-linear (PWL) relationships into a Linear Program.
