## 4. Mathematical Optimization Formulation

#### Decision Variables
- \( x_i \): Binary decision variable indicating whether reservation \( i \) is accepted (1) or rejected (0).  
  - **Source**: `Reservations.AcceptReservation` or `ReservationDecisions.AcceptReservation`.

#### Objective Function
Maximize the total revenue generated from accepted reservations:  
\[
\text{Maximize } Z = \sum_{i} (\text{Rate}_i \times x_i)
\]  
- **Coefficient Source**: `Reservations.Rate`.

#### Constraints
1. **Room Capacity Constraint**: The total number of guests across all accepted reservations for a room must not exceed the maximum occupancy limit of 4 guests.  
   \[
   \sum_{i} (\text{Guests}_i \times x_i) \leq 4
   \]  
   - **Coefficient Source**: `Reservations.Guests` (assumed to be provided in the data, though not explicitly mentioned in the schema).

2. **Date Overlap Constraint**: For any two reservations \( i \) and \( j \) that overlap in their check-in and check-out dates, only one of them can be accepted.  
   \[
   x_i + x_j \leq 1 \quad \forall \text{ overlapping pairs } (i, j)
   \]  
   - **Coefficient Source**: Derived from the reservation dates (assumed to be provided in the data, though not explicitly mentioned in the schema).

#### Data Source Verification
- **Objective Function Coefficient**: `Reservations.Rate` provides the revenue rate for each reservation.  
- **Room Capacity Constraint Coefficient**: `Reservations.Guests` (assumed) provides the number of guests for each reservation.  
- **Date Overlap Constraint**: Derived from the reservation dates (assumed to be provided in the data).  

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

### Execution Results
**Status**: OPTIMAL
**Optimal Value**: 400.0
**Execution Time**: 0.83 seconds
**Reliability**: low
**Retry Attempt**: 2
**Analysis**: Pyomo reported an optimal value of 400.0, which is inconsistent with the other solvers. This discrepancy raises concerns about the reliability of Pyomo's solution.

## 8. Cross-Solver Analysis and Final Recommendation

### Solver Results Comparison

| Solver | Status | Optimal Value | Execution Time | Decision Variables | Retry Attempt |
|--------|--------|---------------|----------------|-------------------|---------------|
| Gurobipy | OPTIMAL | 270.00 | 0.17s | N/A | 2 |
| Docplex | OPTIMAL | 270.00 | 1.18s | N/A | 2 |
| Pyomo | OPTIMAL | 400.00 | 0.83s | N/A | 2 |

### Solver Consistency Analysis
**Result**: Solvers produced inconsistent results
**Consistent Solvers**: gurobipy, docplex
**Inconsistent Solvers**: pyomo
**Potential Issues**:
- Pyomo may have encountered a bug or misconfiguration.
- The model formulation might have been interpreted differently by Pyomo.
- Numerical precision issues could have affected Pyomo's results.
**Majority Vote Optimal Value**: 270.0
**Solver Retry Summary**: gurobipy: 2 attempts, docplex: 2 attempts, pyomo: 2 attempts

### Final Recommendation
**Recommended Optimal Value**: 270.0
**Confidence Level**: HIGH
**Preferred Solver(s)**: gurobipy
**Reasoning**: Gurobipy is recommended due to its high reliability, optimal solution, and significantly faster execution time compared to DOCplex. Pyomo's inconsistent results make it less trustworthy for this problem.

### Business Interpretation
**Overall Strategy**: The optimal revenue achievable is $270.0, based on the consistent results from Gurobipy and DOCplex. This value represents the maximum revenue while respecting room capacity and date overlap constraints.
**Objective Value Meaning**: The optimal objective value of $270.0 represents the maximum revenue achievable by accepting a subset of reservations without violating room capacity or date overlap constraints.
**Resource Allocation Summary**: Accept reservations that collectively generate $270.0 in revenue, ensuring no room exceeds 4 guests and no overlapping reservations are accepted.
**Implementation Recommendations**: Use Gurobipy to determine the optimal set of reservations to accept. Verify the solution against business rules and constraints before implementation.
