Add an extra portfolio

Generate a portfolio of solutions for a conservation planning problem() by storing feasible solutions discovered during the optimization process. This method is useful for quickly obtaining multiple solutions, but does not provide any guarantees on the number of solutions, or the quality of solutions.

add_extra_portfolio(x)

Arguments

x

problem() (i.e., ConservationProblem) object.

Value

Object (i.e., ConservationProblem) with the portfolio added to it.

Details

This strategy for generating a portfolio requires problems to be solved using the Gurobi software suite (i.e., using add_gurobi_solver(). Specifically, version 8.0.0 (or greater) of the gurobi package must be installed.

# solve problem and generate portfolio

# plot solutions
