## 4. Mathematical Optimization Formulation

#### Decision Variables
Let \( x_{ij} \) be the number of aircraft of type \( i \) assigned to airport \( j \), where:
- \( i \in \{ \text{Boeing 737}, \text{Airbus A320}, \text{Boeing 777} \} \) (aircraft types)
- \( j \in \{ \text{JFK}, \text{LAX}, \text{ORD} \} \) (airport codes)

#### Objective Function
Minimize the total operational cost:
\[
\text{Minimize } Z = \sum_{i} \sum_{j} c_{ij} \cdot x_{ij}
\]
where \( c_{ij} \) is the operational cost of assigning aircraft type \( i \) to airport \( j \).

#### Constraints
1. **Passenger Demand Constraint**: For each airport \( j \), the total passenger capacity of all assigned aircraft must meet or exceed the airport's passenger demand:
\[
\sum_{i} p_i \cdot x_{ij} \geq d_j \quad \forall j
\]
where \( p_i \) is the passenger capacity of aircraft type \( i \), and \( d_j \) is the passenger demand at airport \( j \).

2. **Aircraft Movement Constraint**: For each airport \( j \), the total number of assigned aircraft must not exceed the airport's maximum number of aircraft movements:
\[
\sum_{i} x_{ij} \leq m_j \quad \forall j
\]
where \( m_j \) is the maximum number of aircraft movements at airport \( j \).

3. **Non-Negativity Constraint**: The number of aircraft assigned must be non-negative:
\[
x_{ij} \geq 0 \quad \forall i, j
\]

#### Data Source Verification
- \( c_{ij} \): `operational_costs.cost` (operational cost of assigning aircraft type \( i \) to airport \( j \))
- \( p_i \): `aircraft_capacity.passenger_capacity` (passenger capacity of aircraft type \( i \))
- \( d_j \): `airport.passenger_demand` (passenger demand at airport \( j \))
- \( m_j \): `airport.aircraft_movements` (maximum number of aircraft movements at airport \( j \))

#### Numerical Coefficients from Data
- **Operational Costs (\( c_{ij} \))**:
  - Boeing 737 at JFK: 5000.0
  - Airbus A320 at JFK: 5500.0
  - Boeing 777 at JFK: 8000.0
  - Boeing 737 at LAX: 4800.0
  - Airbus A320 at LAX: 5200.0

- **Passenger Capacities (\( p_i \))**:
  - Boeing 737: 150
  - Airbus A320: 180
  - Boeing 777: 300

- **Passenger Demands (\( d_j \))**:
  - JFK: 15000
  - LAX: 20000
  - ORD: 18000

- **Aircraft Movements (\( m_j \))**:
  - JFK: 50
  - LAX: 60
  - ORD: 55

This formulation provides a complete, immediately solvable LINEAR mathematical model with all numerical coefficients derived from the provided data.

## 8. Cross-Solver Analysis and Final Recommendation

### Solver Results Comparison

| Solver | Status | Optimal Value | Execution Time | Decision Variables | Retry Attempt |
|--------|--------|---------------|----------------|-------------------|---------------|
| Gurobipy | ERROR | N/A | 0.19s | N/A | 4 |
| Docplex | INFEASIBLE | N/A | 1.04s | N/A | 4 |
| Pyomo | ERROR | N/A | 0.85s | N/A | 4 |

### Solver Consistency Analysis
**Result**: Solvers produced inconsistent results
**Inconsistent Solvers**: gurobipy, docplex, pyomo
**Potential Issues**:
- Missing operational cost data for ('Boeing 777', 'LAX')
- Infeasible constraints due to incorrect or overly restrictive data
- Data preparation errors leading to undefined parameters
**Solver Retry Summary**: gurobipy: 4 attempts, docplex: 4 attempts, pyomo: 4 attempts

### Final Recommendation
**Confidence Level**: LOW
**Preferred Solver(s)**: none
**Reasoning**: All solvers failed due to data-related issues or infeasibility. The problem must be revisited to ensure complete and accurate data, and to verify the feasibility of constraints.

### Business Interpretation
**Overall Strategy**: The optimization problem cannot be solved due to data issues or infeasible constraints. This prevents determining the optimal aircraft assignment and operational cost.
**Objective Value Meaning**: The total operational cost of assigning aircraft to airports, which could not be determined due to solver errors.
**Resource Allocation Summary**: Resource allocation cannot be determined until the data issues are resolved and the problem is feasible.
**Implementation Recommendations**: ['Verify and complete the operational cost data for all aircraft-airport combinations.', 'Review passenger demand and aircraft movement constraints to ensure they are realistic and feasible.', 'Re-run the optimization with corrected data and constraints.']
