You cannot use conditional expressions in this case, because this would
lead to non-linear constraints not allowed by glpk. You need to declare
your variables as binary and then use standard techniques to model
logical relations, for example, the condition
IF x1 = 1 AND ... AND x8 = 0 THEN y1 = 0
can be written as:
x1 = 0 OR ... OR x8 = 1 OR y1 = 0
and then can be modeled as
(1 - x1) + ... + x8 + (1 - y1) >= 1
where x1, ..., x8, y1 are binary variables.
