# Complete Optimization Problem and Solution: gymnast

## 1. Problem Context and Goals

### Context  
In a gymnastics competition, the goal is to select a team of gymnasts that maximizes the total points scored across all events. Each gymnast has a specific performance score for each event, which represents their potential contribution to the team’s total score. The decision-making process involves determining which gymnasts should participate in which events, based on their performance scores.  

The operational parameters include:  
- **Performance Scores**: Each gymnast has a score for the floor exercise, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars, and horizontal bar. These scores are used to calculate the total points the team can achieve.  
- **Event Participation**: Each gymnast can participate in a maximum of 3 events, as defined by the business configuration. This ensures that gymnasts are not overburdened and can perform at their best.  
- **Team Size**: The total number of gymnasts on the team cannot exceed 10, as specified in the business configuration. This limit ensures the team is manageable and diverse in skill sets.  

The decision variables are binary choices indicating whether a gymnast participates in a specific event. The objective is to maximize the total points scored by the team across all events, while adhering to the constraints on event participation and team size.  

### Goals  
The primary goal of this optimization problem is to maximize the total points scored by the gymnastics team across all events. This is achieved by strategically selecting which gymnasts participate in which events, based on their performance scores. Success is measured by the total points accumulated, which is the sum of the points contributed by each gymnast in the events they participate in.  

The optimization process ensures that the team’s total score is as high as possible, while respecting the operational constraints of event participation limits and team size.  

## 2. Constraints  

The optimization problem is subject to the following constraints:  
1. **Event Participation Limit**: Each gymnast can participate in a maximum of 3 events. This ensures that no gymnast is overcommitted and can perform optimally in the events they are assigned.  
2. **Team Size Limit**: The total number of gymnasts on the team cannot exceed 10. This ensures the team remains manageable and diverse in skill sets.  

These constraints are designed to align with the operational realities of the competition and ensure the optimization solution is both practical and effective.  

## 3. Available Data  

### Database Schema  
```sql

## 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

## 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.
