Functional Aggregation and MRMATE Formulation,

Abstract

The SCOPE (and MODES) system consists of the LIFTCAP and MRMATE problems linked via sensitivity information. This report outlines application of these ideas to the solution of MRMATE. Specifically, the effect of aggregation across time, channels, and MRs is analyzed. This report includes a description of the network structure of MRMATE, the significance of MRMATE nodes, arcs and the limits and costs on them. It also outlines various reasons for the aggregation of MRMATE. An example MRMATE problem, provides a better understanding of the type of data required in the setup of MRMATE and the types of logical aggregation parameters that could be considered. Effects of the aggregation parameter on problem formulation are discussed and illustrated for the example problem considered.
