Thanks, yeah this was the wrong notation. Is there an agreed notation for domains in defining decision variables in optimisation problems? If it is e.g., ∈ Z, happy to go with that.
Some references:
In the end it does not really matter as long as it's clear, alternative ways that I can think of right now are:
Most of them however do not explicitly state what's happening, e.g., $x$ may be complex valued, and $foo \in X$ is immediately clear for any $X$ (and also allows more complex formulations, like conic programming, etc.).
Maybe $\in \mathbb{Z}$ and $\in \mathbb{R}$? We don't have binary variables, only integer ones that can be limited to a maximum of 1 using a parameter. So it'll only be "in set of integers" or "in set of all reals".

Sounds great! Maybe (don't know if that is possible) adding the variable before that helps with readability?
For example (async_flow_switch
) instead of:
\begin{aligned}
& \forall \text{node} \in \text{nodes}, \text{tech} \in \text{techs}, \text{timesteps} \in \text{timesteps} \\
& \in \mathbb{Z}: \\
& \\
& \dots \quad \text{actual content} \quad \dots
\end{aligned}
is the following (or something similar) possible?
\begin{aligned}
& \forall \text{node} \in \text{nodes}, \text{tech} \in \text{techs}, \text{timesteps} \in \text{timesteps}: \\
& \\
& async\_flow\_switch_{\text{node},\text{tech},\text{timestep}} \in \mathbb{Z} \\
& \\
& \dots \quad \text{actual content} \quad \dots
\end{aligned}
Description
domain: integer
is rendered as $\forall \mathbb{Z}$, instead of, e.g., $\in \mathbb{Z}$, similar for the variables not having an explicit domain, which show $\forall \mathbb{R}$.Related links
