Symbolic Factorable SUMT; What is It, How is It Used,

Abstract

This report is intended to serve as a guide for coding, solving, and conducting sensitivity and elasticity analysis on a solution vector of general parametric nonlinear programming problems using the latest version of the computer programming model of SYMBOLIC FACTORABLE SUMT. The motivation for development of this model, which uses symbolic factorable input, and the process of its evolution is briefly reviewed. The relative merits and advantages of this model over its earlier versions, as well as over the SUMT-Version 4 model 1 is elaborated. The procedure for putting problems into symbolic factorable language that is digestible by the model, and the related model outputs, are fully explored. For illustrative purposes three increasingly difficult sample problems are coded, solved, and discussed in sufficient detail. For completeness, the theory of symbolic factorable sensitivity analysis that was developed in 4 is included as an appendix. (Author)
