## 4. Mathematical Optimization Formulation

#### Decision Variables
Let \( x_{i,j} \) be a binary decision variable where:
- \( i \) represents the gymnast (e.g., \( i = 1, 2, 3 \))
- \( j \) represents the event (e.g., \( j = 1 \) for Floor Exercise, \( j = 2 \) for Pommel Horse, \( j = 3 \) for Rings, \( j = 4 \) for Vault, \( j = 5 \) for Parallel Bars, \( j = 6 \) for Horizontal Bar)

\( x_{i,j} = 1 \) if gymnast \( i \) participates in event \( j \), and \( x_{i,j} = 0 \) otherwise.

#### Objective Function
Maximize the total points scored by the team across all events:
\[
\text{Maximize } Z = \sum_{i=1}^{3} \sum_{j=1}^{6} p_{i,j} \cdot x_{i,j}
\]
where \( p_{i,j} \) is the performance score of gymnast \( i \) in event \( j \).

#### Constraints
1. **Event Participation Limit**: Each gymnast can participate in a maximum of 3 events:
\[
\sum_{j=1}^{6} x_{i,j} \leq 3 \quad \forall i \in \{1, 2, 3\}
\]
2. **Team Size Limit**: The total number of gymnasts on the team cannot exceed 10:
\[
\sum_{i=1}^{3} y_i \leq 10
\]
where \( y_i \) is a binary variable indicating whether gymnast \( i \) is on the team:
\[
y_i = \begin{cases} 
1 & \text{if } \sum_{j=1}^{6} x_{i,j} \geq 1 \\
0 & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases}
\]
3. **Binary Decision Variables**:
\[
x_{i,j} \in \{0, 1\} \quad \forall i \in \{1, 2, 3\}, \forall j \in \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}
\]
\[
y_i \in \{0, 1\} \quad \forall i \in \{1, 2, 3\}
\]

#### Data Source Verification
- **Performance Scores \( p_{i,j} \)**: From `gymnast` table columns `Floor_Exercise_Points`, `Pommel_Horse_Points`, `Rings_Points`, `Vault_Points`, `Parallel_Bars_Points`, `Horizontal_Bar_Points`.
- **Event Participation Limit**: From `team_constraints.max_events_per_gymnast`.
- **Team Size Limit**: From `team_constraints.max_gymnasts_on_team`.

#### Numerical Coefficients from Provided Data
- **Performance Scores**:
  - Gymnast 1: \( p_{1,1} = 9.5 \), \( p_{1,2} = 8.7 \), \( p_{1,3} = 9.0 \), \( p_{1,4} = 9.2 \), \( p_{1,5} = 8.9 \), \( p_{1,6} = 9.1 \)
  - Gymnast 2: \( p_{2,1} = 8.8 \), \( p_{2,2} = 9.3 \), \( p_{2,3} = 8.7 \), \( p_{2,4} = 8.9 \), \( p_{2,5} = 9.0 \), \( p_{2,6} = 8.6 \)
  - Gymnast 3: \( p_{3,1} = 9.0 \), \( p_{3,2} = 8.5 \), \( p_{3,3} = 9.2 \), \( p_{3,4} = 9.1 \), \( p_{3,5} = 8.8 \), \( p_{3,6} = 9.3 \)
- **Event Participation Limit**: 3
- **Team Size Limit**: 10

This formulation is a complete, immediately solvable Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) 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 | N/A |
| Docplex | OPTIMAL | 82.60 | 1.08s | N/A | N/A |
| Pyomo | OPTIMAL | 82.60 | 0.92s | N/A | N/A |

### Solver Consistency Analysis
**Result**: All solvers produced consistent results ✓
**Consistent Solvers**: docplex, pyomo
**Majority Vote Optimal Value**: 82.6

### Final Recommendation
**Recommended Optimal Value**: 82.6
**Confidence Level**: HIGH
**Preferred Solver(s)**: multiple
**Reasoning**: Both DOCplex and Pyomo provided consistent and reliable solutions. Gurobipy failed due to a data input error, which can be corrected for future use.

### Business Interpretation
**Overall Strategy**: The optimal team configuration maximizes the total points scored across all events, ensuring that each gymnast participates in no more than 3 events and the team size does not exceed 10.
**Objective Value Meaning**: The optimal objective value of 82.6 represents the maximum total points the team can achieve under the given constraints.
**Resource Allocation Summary**: Each gymnast should be assigned to up to 3 events where they have the highest performance scores, ensuring the team size does not exceed 10.
**Implementation Recommendations**: Verify and correct the data input format for Gurobipy. Use the optimal solution from DOCplex or Pyomo to assign gymnasts to events and maximize team performance.
