Re: [Help-glpk] [Fwd: No mod or round function available for variables]

Assuming that x must be an integer, wouldn't 

param maxPallets := 11;

var x integer, <= maxPallets;

s.t. x >= maxPallets/2;

do the job? Having said this, I'm wondering about the overall formulation of this problem. It would seem that you want x to be an integer that is either 0, or greater than 50% of the container capacity. That's an example of a semicontinuous (semi-integer?) variable.  Below is a link to a simple model allocating pallets to containers subject to this type of constraint.

Subject: [Help-glpk] No mod or round function available for variables

Hi,

I am trying to solve the following problem:
I have an LP with a max objective function and some constraints. It is a
logistical problem. x is my variable that tells me how many pallets I should
ship on a certain route. 11 pallets can go in one 20-foot-container. I want
to add a restriction that forces the minimum number of pallets in a
container to be 6 or that the container should be 50% full.
I tried to do this like that:
(x mod 11)/11 >= 0.5
This did not work, since mod is only available for parameters or numbers but
not for variables.
I tried the following:
x/11 - round(x/11) >= 0.5.
The same problem.

Has anyone an idea how I can model this without using mod or round?

Please help!!
