dumpsol.gms : Alternate Solutions for a Simple Facility Location Problem

Description

A simple version of a facility location problem is used to show how the
solution pool and the tools associated with it work. This example is taken
from the Cplex 11 User's Manual (ILOG, Cplex 11 User's Manual, 2007)

A company is considering opening as many as four warehouses in order to serve
nine different regions. The goal is to minimize the sum of fixed costs
associated with opening warehouses as well as the various transportation
costs incurred to ship goods from the warehouses to the regions.

Whether or not to open a warehouse is represented by binary variable ow.
Whether or not to ship goods from warehouse i to region j is represented
by binary variable oa.

Each region needs a specified amount of goods, and each warehouse can store
only a limited quantity of goods. In addition, each region must be served
by exactly one warehouse.

The following GAMS program demonstrates how to collect the solutions
found during optimization in several GAMS solvers. GAMS will store the
individual solutions in GDX containers/files which can then be further
used by other programs or the same GAMS run. The solver links will name
these GDX containers 'soln_loc_pNN.gdx', where NN will be the serial
number of the solution found. To manage the different solutions, the
names of the GDX containers created by the solver link will be stored in
dumpsol.gdx in the set 'index' using the set elements file*.
