Yeah, this is one part of the API that needs fixing. But I could never decide the right thing to do.
The answer is that you need to use Symbol(n)
where n
is the string returned by JuMP.name(x)
. For example, with the state:
@variable(sp, x[1:2], SDDP.State, initial_value = 0)
you'd need:
incoming_state = Dict(Symbol("x[1]") => 0.0, Symbol("x[2]") => 0.0)
.
But this is complicated, confusing, and not at all nice. I need a better way...
Thank you, this will do for me. I suppose the difficulty is to keep a Symbol to Float dictionary to preserve type stability, which would not be possible if the values were sometimes arrays and sometimes floats. I don't know if you want this issue closed or to keep it open. I'll let you decide.
One reason I haven't made this nicer is that, in general, I find that in most cases you want to use SDDP.simulate
instead of querying particular values of the decision rule.
Hello,
I'm pretty sure this is a documentation issue and that the functionality exists internally, but I can't figure out how to evaluate a DecisionRule with a state that's not a scalar.
The example at https://sddp.dev/stable/apireference/#SDDP.evaluate only shows the case with the scalar
:volume
variable. But what if volume is a variable declared as multidimensional? Theincoming_state
argument ofevaluate
expects Symbol => Float64 pairs.I can contribute to improve the documentation with the answer if you want.
