This isn’t new – I pulled the formulation from Rob Vanderbei’s “Local Warming” paper, and I’ve shown similar models at conference talks in the past using other modeling APIs and solvers. There are a couple reasons I keep coming back to this problem. One is that it’s a great example of how to build a machine learning model using an optimization solver....
