## 4. Mathematical Optimization Formulation

#### Decision Variables
- \( x_{ij} \): Binary variable indicating whether student \( i \) is assigned to advisor \( j \). \( x_{ij} = 1 \) if student \( i \) is assigned to advisor \( j \), otherwise \( x_{ij} = 0 \).
- \( w_j \): Continuous variable representing the total pet weight assigned to advisor \( j \).

#### Objective Function
Minimize the maximum workload of any advisor, defined as the sum of the number of students and the total pet weight assigned to each advisor:

\[
\min \max_{j} \left( \sum_{i} x_{ij} + w_j \right)
\]

To linearize the objective function, introduce an auxiliary variable \( M \) representing the maximum workload:

\[
\min M
\]

Subject to:

\[
M \geq \sum_{i} x_{ij} + w_j \quad \forall j
\]

#### Constraints
1. **Student Assignment Constraint**: Each student must be assigned to exactly one advisor.

\[
\sum_{j} x_{ij} = 1 \quad \forall i
\]

2. **Advisor Capacity Constraints**:
   - Maximum number of students per advisor:

\[
\sum_{i} x_{ij} \leq \text{MaxStudents}_j \quad \forall j
\]

   - Maximum total pet weight per advisor:

\[
w_j \leq \text{MaxWeight}_j \quad \forall j
\]

3. **Pet Weight Assignment**: Ensure that the total pet weight assigned to each advisor does not exceed the advisor's capacity. This is implicitly handled by the constraints on \( w_j \).

#### Data Source Verification
- \( \text{MaxStudents}_j \) and \( \text{MaxWeight}_j \) are sourced from the `AdvisorConstraints` table.
- The assignment of students to advisors \( x_{ij} \) is based on the `Has_Pet` table.
- The total pet weight \( w_j \) is initially sourced from the `PetWeightAssignment` table but is adjusted dynamically in the optimization process.

This formulation ensures that the optimization problem is linear and respects all constraints and coefficients as specified in the business problem description.

### Solver Consistency Analysis
**Result**: Solvers produced inconsistent results
**Consistent Solvers**: gurobipy, pyomo

**Potential Issues**:
- DOCplex may have a different interpretation of the objective function or constraints.
- There could be a data input or preprocessing error specific to DOCplex.
**Majority Vote Optimal Value**: 1.0

### Final Recommendation
**Recommended Optimal Value**: 1.0
**Confidence Level**: HIGH
**Preferred Solver(s)**: gurobipy
**Reasoning**: Gurobipy provided a consistent and reliable solution with the expected optimal value, and its performance was efficient.

### Business Interpretation
**Overall Strategy**: The optimal workload for any advisor is minimized to 1.0, indicating a balanced distribution of students and pet weights across advisors.
**Objective Value Meaning**: The optimal objective value of 1.0 indicates that the maximum workload for any advisor is minimized, ensuring equitable distribution of responsibilities.
**Resource Allocation Summary**: Advisors should be assigned students and pet weights such that no advisor exceeds the workload of 1.0, maintaining balance and efficiency.
**Implementation Recommendations**: Verify data inputs and constraints, particularly for DOCplex. Implement the solution using Gurobipy to ensure optimal resource allocation.
