The document provides a detailed overview of AMPL's capabilities for linear programming, focusing on the fundamental concepts of sets and indexing. It explains various types of sets, including unordered and ordered sets, their operations, and how to define and manipulate them within AMPL models. The text emphasizes the importance of set indexing in creating concise mathematical representations and introduces operators for set operations such as union, intersection, and difference. Additionally, it discusses the use of indexing expressions for parameters and variables in model constraints.

Click ‘Get Form’ to open the Simple Sets and Indexing document in the editor.
Begin by identifying the sections related to unordered sets. These are fundamental components where you can declare sets using the keyword 'set' followed by a name, such as 'set PROD;'.
Next, explore how to define set members. You can list them explicitly within braces, for example, 'set PROD = {"bands", "coils", "plate"};'. Ensure that string members are enclosed in quotes.
For numerical sets, utilize expressions like '1..6' to define ranges. This allows for concise representation of sequences relevant to your model.
Familiarize yourself with set operations such as union and intersection. Use these operators to create new sets based on existing ones, enhancing your model's flexibility.
Lastly, practice using indexing expressions within your model components. This will help you specify which sets parameters and variables are indexed over effectively.

What is an example of an index set?

An index set could be a set of any objects. For instance, the sets of numbers in the last example could be the favorite Lotto numbers of five different students. We could index these sets according to the names of the students: AJohn={1,4,23},AMary={7,11,23},AJoe={3,6,9},APete={5,17,22},ALucy={3,6,23}.

What is an example of an index?

An index tracks the performance of a group of preselected investments, such as stocks. For example, the SP 500 index tracks the performance of 500 of the largest U.S. companies. Investors gauge the performance of stocks, bonds or mutual funds by comparing them with the performance of an index.

Is there indexing in sets?

Unlike other collections in python, there is no index attached to the elements of the set, i.e., we cannot directly access any element of the set by the index.

What is the difference between indexed set and ordered set?

Indexed sets are build when you define a function between a totally-ordered set (as the domain) and an arbitrary set (in the codomain), then, the totally-ordered set you used becomes the index set, because you used it to index the arbitrary set.

How to index a set of numbers?

To index numerical data, values must be adjusted so they are equal to each other in a given starting time period. By convention, this value is usually 100. From there on, every value is normalized to the start value, maintaining the same percentage changes as in the nonindexed series.

What is an index set with an example?

In computational complexity theory and cryptography, an index set is a set for which there exists an algorithm I that can sample the set efficiently; e.g., on input 1n, I can efficiently select a poly(n)-bit long element from the set.
