I am new with MIDCP.
I would like to use MIDCP to solve the following integer optimization problem.
Suppose the function f(x) is defined as
f(x)=cx-\sum_{n=0}^{cx-1}\left(cx-n\right)\frac{\lambda^{n}e^{-\lambda}}{n!},
where c is integer constant and \lambda is constant.
The optimization problem is:
x=\mathrm{argmax}_{x} f(x)
subject to x_{min}<x<x_{max} and x is integer
My main problem is in the upper limit of the sum since when I use for or while loop ending at cx-1, I got the following error message:
“Disciplined convex programming error:
Constraints may not appear in if/then statements.”
I do appreciate your help.
Thank you
