قيود التحويل

يربط قيد القنوات المتغيّرات داخل نموذج. يتم استخدامها عند تريد التعبير عن علاقة معقدة بين المتغيرات، مثل "إذا كان هذا المتغير الذي يستوفي شرطًا، فرض متغيرًا آخر على قيمة معينة".

يتم تنفيذ التوجيه عادةً باستخدام قيود خطية نصفية: واحد القيد ضمني آخر (أ → ب)، ولكن ليس بالضرورة الطريقة الأخرى حول (أ ← ب).

تعبيرات "إذا-إذ-إلسي"

لنفترض أنّك تريد تنفيذ ما يلي: "إذا كانت قيمة x أقل من 5، اضبط y. إلى 0. ويمكنك بدلاً من ذلك ضبط y على 10-x. يمكنك القيام بذلك لإنشاء وسيط المتغيّر المنطقي b الذي يكون صحيحًا إذا كانت x أكبر من 5 أو تساويها false في الحالات الأخرى:

b تشير إلى y == 10 - x

لا(b) تشير إلى y == 0

يتم تنفيذ هذه الإجراءات باستخدام طريقة OnlyEnforceIf كما هو موضّح أدناه.

مشكلة في تعبئة الصناديق

كمثال آخر على قيد القناة، ضع في اعتبارك مشكلة تعبئة الصناديق في يحسب جزء من النموذج حِمل كل سلة، بينما يحسب جزء آخر إلى مضاعفة عدد السلال أسفل حد معين. لتنفيذ ذلك، يمكنك channel تحميل كل سلة في مجموعة من المتغيرات المنطقية، يشير كل منها إلى وما إذا كان أقل من الحد الأدنى.

لجعل هذا أكثر واقعية، لنفترض أن لديك 10 سلال بسعة 100 سلال، العناصر لوضعها في الصناديق. وترغب في زيادة عدد الصناديق التي يمكنها قبول حمل طوارئ واحد بحجم 20.

للقيام بذلك، تحتاج إلى زيادة عدد السلال التي تحتوي على حمولة أقل من 80. في الرمز البرمجي أدناه، تُستخدَم القنوات لربط load وslack. المتغيرات معًا:
