Utilities to Build Expressions

pyomo.core.util.prod(terms)[source]

A utility function to compute the product of a list of terms.

Parameters:

terms (list) – A list of terms that are multiplied together.

Returns:

The value of the product, which may be a Pyomo expression object.

pyomo.core.util.quicksum(args, start=0, linear=None)[source]

A utility function to compute a sum of Pyomo expressions.

The behavior of quicksum() is similar to the builtin sum() function, but this function can avoid the generation and disposal of intermediate objects, and thus is slightly more performant.

Parameters:

  • args (Iterable) – A generator for terms in the sum.

  • start (Any) – A value that initializes the sum. If this value is not a numeric constant, then the += operator is used to add terms to this object. Defaults to 0.

  • linear (bool) – DEPRECATED: the linearity of the resulting expression is determined automatically. This option is ignored.

Return type:

The value of the sum, which may be a Pyomo expression object.

pyomo.core.util.sum_product(*args, **kwds)[source]

A utility function to compute a generalized dot product.

This function accepts one or more components that provide terms that are multiplied together. These products are added together to form a sum.

Parameters:

  • *args – Variable length argument list of generators that create terms in the summation.

  • **kwds – Arbitrary keyword arguments.

Keyword Arguments:

  • index – A set that is used to index the components used to create the terms

  • denom – A component or tuple of components that are used to create the denominator of the terms

  • start – The initial value used in the sum

Returns:

The value of the sum.
