General Objective:
To know the basics of mathematical modeling in GAMS.
Presentation:
The GAMS platform allows the user to concentrate on modeling. By eliminating the need to think about purely technical machine-specific problems, such as address calculations, storage tasks, subroutine linkage, and input-output and control flow, GAMS increases the time available for conceptualization and model execution, and analysis of the results.
In the use of GAMS, data are entered only once in familiar list and table form. The models are described in concise algebraic statements that are easy to read for humans and machines.
GAMS is flexible and powerful. Models are fully portable from one computer platform to another when GAMS is loaded on each platform. GAMS facilitates sensitivity analysis. The user can easily program a model to solve for different values of an element and then generate an output report listing the solution characteristics for each case.
