Solver Max<p>Pivot irrigators in a 100 acre field</p><p>We formulate a non-linear, non-convex model for optimizing the layout of centre-pivot irrigators in a field. Several free and commercial solvers fail to find good solutions. Then we try the MINLP-BB solver via NEOS using a multi-start technique.<br />Can it find an optimal solution?<br /><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>python</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/orms" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>orms</span></a> <br /><a href="https://www.solvermax.com/blog/pivot-irrigators-in-a-100-acre-field" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">solvermax.com/blog/pivot-irrig</span><span class="invisible">ators-in-a-100-acre-field</span></a></p>

Solver Max<p>Optimal rational approximation using SciPy </p><p>In this article we solve a non-linear curve fitting problem using the SciPy library. SciPy is especially well-suiting to solving this type of problem, as it includes a variety of functions for fitting and optimizing non-linear functions.</p><p>Along the way, we illustrate how to use SciPy&#39;s curve_fit and minimize functions for this type of task. In addition, we look at some good practices to apply when solving this type of problem.<br /><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>python</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/scipy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>scipy</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/orms" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>orms</span></a><br /><a href="https://www.solvermax.com/blog/optimal-rational-approximation-using-scipy" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">solvermax.com/blog/optimal-rat</span><span class="invisible">ional-approximation-using-scipy</span></a></p>

Solver Max<p>Article: Can AI code an entire optimization model?</p><p>In this article we pursue an ambitious goal: Create an entire, non-trivial optimization model using Artificial Intelligence (AI).</p><p>Our approach mimics a user who is familiar with the situation, and has some experience with formulating optimization models, but is not familiar with implementing an optimization model in Python code. We want the AI to do all the coding for us.</p><p>We report our experience of using Copilot to write a model for us. Rather than presenting a verbatim transcript, which is very long, we focus on what went well and what didn&#39;t go well as the model evolves. We also summarize general lessons from the process.</p><p><a href="https://www.solvermax.com/blog/can-ai-code-an-entire-optimization-model" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">solvermax.com/blog/can-ai-code</span><span class="invisible">-an-entire-optimization-model</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/copilot" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>copilot</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Python</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/orms" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>orms</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/optimization" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>optimization</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/modelling" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>modelling</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/highs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>highs</span></a></p>
