Leaving side the -Mn
term, which is a constant, the minimum possible objective value appears to be zero, and that is achieved with mu_n = 0
and any feasible Pi
and P
j. Therefore, because mu_n
does not appear in any constraints other than being nonnegative, It looks like mu_n
= 0 is optimal, together with any value of Pi
and Pj
which satisfy the constraints
Am I missing something?
