## 4. Mathematical Optimization Formulation

#### Decision Variables
- Let \( x_{ij} \) be a binary decision variable where:  
  \( x_{ij} = 1 \) if teacher \( i \) is assigned to course \( j \),  
  \( x_{ij} = 0 \) otherwise.  

#### Objective Function
Maximize the total teaching quality:  
\[
\text{Maximize } Z = \sum_{i} \sum_{j} g_{ij} \cdot x_{ij}
\]  
where \( g_{ij} \) is the teaching quality grade for teacher \( i \) and course \( j \).  

#### Constraints
1. **Course Assignment Constraint**: Each course \( j \) must be assigned exactly one teacher:  
\[
\sum_{i} x_{ij} = 1 \quad \forall j
\]  
2. **Teacher Capacity Constraint**: Each teacher \( i \) can be assigned no more than their maximum allowable number of courses \( c_i \):  
\[
\sum_{j} x_{ij} \leq c_i \quad \forall i
\]  

#### Data Source Verification
- \( g_{ij} \): Teaching quality grade for teacher \( i \) and course \( j \) (from `course_arrange.Grade`).  
- \( c_i \): Maximum number of courses teacher \( i \) can handle (from `teacher_max_courses.max_courses`).  
- \( x_{ij} \): Binary decision variable indicating assignment (from `teacher_course_assignment.assignment_status`).  

This formulation is a complete, immediately solvable Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model with all numerical coefficients derived from the provided data.

### Execution Results
**Status**: OPTIMAL
**Optimal Value**: 21.299999999999997

## 8. Cross-Solver Analysis and Final Recommendation

### Solver Results Comparison

| Solver | Status | Optimal Value | Execution Time | Decision Variables | Retry Attempt |
|--------|--------|---------------|----------------|-------------------|---------------|
| Gurobipy | OPTIMAL | 21.20 | 0.19s | N/A | N/A |
| Docplex | OPTIMAL | 21.30 | 1.18s | N/A | N/A |
| Pyomo | OPTIMAL | 21.30 | 0.88s | N/A | N/A |

### Solver Consistency Analysis
**Result**: Solvers produced inconsistent results
**Consistent Solvers**: docplex, pyomo
**Inconsistent Solvers**: gurobipy
**Potential Issues**:
- Numerical precision differences
- Solver-specific optimization algorithms
- Rounding errors
**Majority Vote Optimal Value**: 21.3

### Final Recommendation
**Recommended Optimal Value**: 21.3
**Confidence Level**: HIGH
**Preferred Solver(s)**: docplex
**Reasoning**: DOCplex provided the highest objective value and is consistent with Pyomo. Although it has a longer execution time, the higher objective value justifies its use for this problem.

### Business Interpretation
**Overall Strategy**: The optimal solution maximizes the total teaching quality by assigning teachers to courses in a way that respects their capacity constraints and maximizes the overall quality score.
**Objective Value Meaning**: The optimal objective value of 21.3 represents the maximum total teaching quality achievable given the constraints on teacher capacities and course assignments.
**Resource Allocation Summary**: Teachers should be assigned to courses based on their teaching quality grades and their maximum allowable number of courses to maximize the overall teaching quality.
**Implementation Recommendations**: Implement the assignments as per the optimal solution provided by DOCplex. Ensure that each course is assigned exactly one teacher and that no teacher exceeds their maximum course capacity.
