Pyomo Examples

This repository contains variety of examples of math programming models implemented primarily with the Python Optimization Modeling Objects package and written into Jupyter notebooks. A few examples also compare and contrast pyomo-based development with gurobipy-based development.

Recorded Tutorials

I am an active member of the INFORMS student chapter at the University of Texas at Austin. In that capacity, I have so far led two tutorials using examples from this repository. Recordings of those tutorials are hosted on YouTube at the links below.

• Basic Development with Pyomo and Gurobipy
• Models on Graphs and Block-Based Implementations

Software Version

Python has taken the data science world by storm but sometimes understanding what all packages and which versions are required to run a piece of code can be frustrating. Thankfully, we have companies like Anaconda, Inc. (headquartered in downtown Austin, TX!) making software versioning easy with tools like Anaconda. I have built and tested a conda environment using Anaconda 4.10.1 and exported it to this yaml file. The Anaconda environment may be built from file and activated as follows.

conda env create --file environment.yaml
conda activate pyomo-tutorials

I have only tested this on Fedora 34 with x86_64 architecture. I do not guarantee that this environment will work across all operating systems and architectures, but it should at the very least serve as a basis of support to get these codes working on your system.
