We would certainly expect that the local optimum found has # all rho's are equal to 1. # # (C) Fair Isaac Corp., 1983-2024 import xpress as xp import math import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from matplotlib.path import Path import matplotlib.patches as patches N = 9 Vertices = range(N) p = xp.problem() # Declare and add variables rho = [p.addVariable(name='rho_{}'.format(i), lb=1e-5, ub=1.0) for i in Vertices] theta = [p.addVariable(name='theta_{}'.format(i), lb=-math.pi, ub=math.pi) for i in Vertices] # The objective function is the total area of the polygon.
