Comparative Study of AMPL, Pyomo and JuMP Optimization Modeling Languages on a Flood Control Problem Example

Abstract

The purpose of this work is a comparative study of three languages (environments) of optimization modeling: AMPL, Pyomo and JuMP. The comparison will be based on three implementations of an optimal discrete-time flood control problem formulated as a nonlinear programming problem. The codes for individual models and differences between them will be presented and discussed. Various aspects will be taken into account, e.g. simplicity and intuitiveness of implementation.
