## 4. Mathematical Optimization Formulation

#### Decision Variables
Let \( x_{ij} \) represent the proportion of film \( i \) allocated to market \( j \), where \( x_{ij} \) is a continuous variable between 0 and 1.

#### Objective Function
Maximize the total gross revenue:
\[
\text{Maximize } Z = \sum_{i} \sum_{j} \text{average\_revenue}_{ij} \times x_{ij}
\]
where \( \text{average\_revenue}_{ij} \) is the average revenue for film \( i \) in market \( j \).

#### Constraints
1. **Total allocation for each film cannot exceed 100%:**
\[
\sum_{j} x_{ij} \leq 1 \quad \forall i
\]
2. **Non-negative allocation proportions:**
\[
x_{ij} \geq 0 \quad \forall i, j
\]

#### Data Source Verification
- **average_revenue**: This coefficient comes from the `film_market_revenue_estimate.average_revenue` column in the database.
- **x_{ij}**: This decision variable represents the `film_market_allocation.allocation_proportion` in the database.

### Numerical Example
Using the provided data, the objective function and constraints can be written as follows:

#### Objective Function
\[
\text{Maximize } Z = 400000 \times x_{11} + 550000 \times x_{12} + 250000 \times x_{13} + 475000 \times x_{21} + 325000 \times x_{22}
\]

#### Constraints
1. **Total allocation for each film cannot exceed 100%:**
\[
x_{11} + x_{12} + x_{13} \leq 1
\]
\[
x_{21} + x_{22} \leq 1
\]
2. **Non-negative allocation proportions:**
\[
x_{11}, x_{12}, x_{13}, x_{21}, x_{22} \geq 0
\]

This formulation provides a complete, immediately solvable linear programming model for maximizing the film studio's total gross revenue.

### Execution Results
**Status**: ERROR
**Error**: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/tmp6sr7f1ej.py", line 59, in <module>

**Analysis**: Gurobipy encountered an 'Array length mismatch' error, indicating a potential issue with the input data dimensions. This suggests that the number of average_revenue values does not match the expected number of films multiplied by markets.

## 8. Cross-Solver Analysis and Final Recommendation

### Solver Results Comparison

| Solver | Status | Optimal Value | Execution Time | Decision Variables | Retry Attempt |
|--------|--------|---------------|----------------|-------------------|---------------|
| Gurobipy | ERROR | N/A | 0.18s | N/A | 4 |
| Docplex | ERROR | N/A | 1.08s | N/A | 4 |
| Pyomo | ERROR | N/A | 0.77s | N/A | 4 |

### Solver Consistency Analysis
**Result**: Solvers produced inconsistent results
**Inconsistent Solvers**: gurobipy, docplex, pyomo
**Potential Issues**:
- Input data dimensions do not match the model's expectations.
- Incorrect number of average_revenue values provided.
- Mismatch between the number of films and markets in the data.
**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 with the same error, indicating a fundamental issue with the input data. No solver can be recommended until the data issue is resolved.

### Business Interpretation
**Overall Strategy**: The optimization model cannot be solved due to data inconsistencies, preventing any meaningful allocation of films to markets.
**Objective Value Meaning**: The total gross revenue cannot be maximized due to unresolved data issues.
**Resource Allocation Summary**: No allocation recommendations can be made until the input data is corrected.
**Implementation Recommendations**: 1. Verify the dimensions of the input data. 2. Ensure the number of average_revenue values matches the product of the number of films and markets. 3. Re-run the optimization after resolving the data issue.
