In order to help you further, you're going to have to be more specific about what it is that you are having trouble with. Is it that you don't understand the sparse() function used to construct the A matrix? Or that you don't understand how the A matrix is used? Or you don't understand how the A matrix defined in the example implements a constant power factor constraint?
Btw, if anyone else on the list can see something I'm missing in my attempts to help Carlos get up to speed ... jump in, don't be shy. -- Ray Zimmerman Senior Research Associate 211 Warren Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853 phone: (607) 255-9645 On Mar 15, 2011, at 9:31 AM, Carlos Gonzalez Almeida wrote: > Dear Prof. Zimmerman > > Once again I appreciate you for the file that you sent me.
