مشكلة النظام الغذائي لـ Stigler

في هذا القسم، نعرض كيفية حل مشكلة تقليدية تُعرف باسم نظام ستيغلر الغذائي، واسمه تيمّنًا بعلم الاقتصاد، الحائز على جائزة نوبل، جورج ستيغلر، الذي اكتشف طريقة غير مكلفة لتلبية الاحتياجات الغذائية الأساسية وفقًا لمجموعة من الأطعمة. وقد اعتبر أنّ هذا الأمر تمرينًا رياضيًا، وليس كاقتراحات لتناول الطعام، على الرغم من أنّ مفهوم احتساب التغذية المثالية هو انتشارًا رائجًا مؤخرًا.

ينص نظام ستيغلر الغذائي على تلبية هذه الحدود الدنيا:

قائمة العناصر الغذائية

مغذٍ الاستهلاك الموصى به يوميًا
السعرات الحرارية 3,000 سعر حراري
بروتين 70 غرامًا
كالسيوم 0.8 غرام
حديد 12 مليغرام
فيتامين أ 5,000 وحدة IU
الثيامين (فيتامين ب 1) 1.8 مليغرام
الريبوفلافين (فيتامين ب 2) 2.7 مليغرام
نِياسين 18 مليغرام
حمض الأسكوربيك (فيتامين ج) 75 مليغرام

وكانت مجموعة الأطعمة التي قيّمها ستيغلر تعكس الوقت (1944). البيانات الغذائية أدناه هي لكل دولار، وليس لكل وحدة، لذا فالهدف هو تحديد عدد الدولارات التي يتم إنفاقها على كل مادة غذائية.

ونظرًا لأنه تم تسوية جميع العناصر الغذائية حسب السعر، فإن هدفنا هو ببساطة تقليل مجموع الأطعمة.

وفي عام 1944، حسب "ستيغلر" أفضل إجابة تمكّنه من التعبير عن شعوره بالحزن:

...يبدو أنّ هناك أي طريقة مباشرة لإيجاد الحد الأدنى لأي دالة خطية خاضعة للظروف الخطية.

وجد نظامًا غذائيًا تكلفته 39.93 دولارًا سنويًا، في عام 1939 بالدولار. في عام 1947، استخدم جاك لادرمان الطريقة البسيطة (التي كانت اختراعًا حديثًا) لتحديد الحل الأمثل. واستغرق الأمر 120 يومًا من تسعة موظفين في الحاسبات المكتبية للوصول إلى الإجابة.

تعريف أداة حلّ LP

يُنشئ الرمز التالي مثيلاً لبرنامج تضمين MPsolver.

Python

# Instantiate a Glop solver and naming it.
solver = pywraplp.Solver.CreateSolver("GLOP")
if not solver:
    return

C++

// Create the linear solver with the GLOP backend.
std::unique_ptr<MPSolver> solver(MPSolver::CreateSolver("GLOP"));

Java

// Create the linear solver with the GLOP backend.
MPSolver solver = MPSolver.createSolver("GLOP");
if (solver == null) {
  System.out.println("Could not create solver GLOP");
  return;
}

C#

// Create the linear solver with the GLOP backend.
Solver solver = Solver.CreateSolver("GLOP");
if (solver is null)
{
    return;
}

إنشاء المتغيّرات

تنشئ التعليمة البرمجية التالية المتغيرات للمشكلة.

Python

# Declare an array to hold our variables.
foods = [solver.NumVar(0.0, solver.infinity(), item[0]) for item in data]

print("Number of variables =", solver.NumVariables())

C++

std::vector<MPVariable*> foods;
const double infinity = solver->infinity();
for (const Commodity& commodity : data) {
  foods.push_back(solver->MakeNumVar(0.0, infinity, commodity.name));
}
LOG(INFO) << "Number of variables = " << solver->NumVariables();

Java

double infinity = java.lang.Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY;
List<MPVariable> foods = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i = 0; i < data.size(); ++i) {
  foods.add(solver.makeNumVar(0.0, infinity, (String) data.get(i)[0]));
}
System.out.println("Number of variables = " + solver.numVariables());

C#

List<Variable> foods = new List<Variable>();
for (int i = 0; i < data.Length; ++i)
{
    foods.Add(solver.MakeNumVar(0.0, double.PositiveInfinity, data[i].Name));
}
Console.WriteLine($"Number of variables = {solver.NumVariables()}");

تُنشئ الطريقة MakeNumVar متغيّرًا واحدًا بقيمة food[i] لكل صف من الجدول. كما ذكرنا سابقًا، يتم تحديد البيانات الغذائية لكل دولار أمريكي، ولذلك food[i] هو المبلغ الذي يتم إنفاقه على i للسلعة.

تحديد القيود

تتطلب قيود نظام "ستيغلر" الغذائي أن يكون العدد الإجمالي للعناصر المغذية التي توفرها جميع الأطعمة هو على الأقل الحد الأدنى المطلوب لكل عنصر غذائي. بعد ذلك، نكتب هذه القيود على أنّها متباينات تتضمّن الصفائف data وnutrients، والمتغيرَين food[i].

أولاً، مقدار المغذيات i التي يوفرها الغذاء j لكل دولار هو data[j][i+3] (أضفنا 3 إلى فهرس العمود لأن البيانات الغذائية تبدأ في العمود الرابع من data.) بما أنّ المبلغ الذي سيتم إنفاقه على الطعام j هو food[j]، فإن كمية i الغذائية التي يوفرها الطعام j تبلغ \(data[j][i+3] \cdot food[j]\). أخيرًا، نظرًا لأن الحد الأدنى لمتطلبات العناصر الغذائية i هو nutrients[i][1]، يمكننا كتابة القيد i على النحو التالي:

\( \sum_{j} data[j][i+3] \cdot food[j] \geq nutrients[i][1] \;\;\;\;\; (1) \)
تحدد التعليمة البرمجية التالية هذه القيود.

Python

# Create the constraints, one per nutrient.
constraints = []
for i, nutrient in enumerate(nutrients):
    constraints.append(solver.Constraint(nutrient[1], solver.infinity()))
    for j, item in enumerate(data):
        constraints[i].SetCoefficient(foods[j], item[i + 3])

print("Number of constraints =", solver.NumConstraints())

C++

// Create the constraints, one per nutrient.
std::vector<MPConstraint*> constraints;
for (std::size_t i = 0; i < nutrients.size(); ++i) {
  constraints.push_back(
      solver->MakeRowConstraint(nutrients[i].second, infinity));
  for (std::size_t j = 0; j < data.size(); ++j) {
    constraints.back()->SetCoefficient(foods[j], data[j].nutrients[i]);
  }
}
LOG(INFO) << "Number of constraints = " << solver->NumConstraints();

Java

MPConstraint[] constraints = new MPConstraint[nutrients.size()];
for (int i = 0; i < nutrients.size(); ++i) {
  constraints[i] = solver.makeConstraint(
      (double) nutrients.get(i)[1], infinity, (String) nutrients.get(i)[0]);
  for (int j = 0; j < data.size(); ++j) {
    constraints[i].setCoefficient(foods.get(j), ((double[]) data.get(j)[3])[i]);
  }
  // constraints.add(constraint);
}
System.out.println("Number of constraints = " + solver.numConstraints());

C#

List<Constraint> constraints = new List<Constraint>();
for (int i = 0; i < nutrients.Length; ++i)
{
    Constraint constraint =
        solver.MakeConstraint(nutrients[i].Value, double.PositiveInfinity, nutrients[i].Name);
    for (int j = 0; j < data.Length; ++j)
    {
        constraint.SetCoefficient(foods[j], data[j].Nutrients[i]);
    }
    constraints.Add(constraint);
}
Console.WriteLine($"Number of constraints = {solver.NumConstraints()}");

تضع طريقة بايثون Constraint (التوافقة مع طريقة C++MakeRowConstraint) قيودًا على المشكلة. لكل i، constraint(nutrients[i][1], solver.infinity)

يؤدّي ذلك إلى إنشاء قيد تكون فيه مجموعة خطيّة من المتغيّرات food[j] (محددة بعد ذلك) أكبر من أو تساوي nutrients[i][1]. يتم تحديد معاملات التعبير الخطي من خلال الطريقة SetCoefficient على النحو التالي: SetCoefficient(food[j], data[j][i+3]

يؤدي ذلك إلى ضبط معامل food[j] ليكون data[j][i+3].

بوضع كل ذلك معًا، تحدد التعليمة البرمجية القيود المعبر عنها في (1) أعلاه.

إنشاء الهدف

تحدد التعليمة البرمجية التالية الدالة الهدف للمشكلة.

Python

# Objective function: Minimize the sum of (price-normalized) foods.
objective = solver.Objective()
for food in foods:
    objective.SetCoefficient(food, 1)
objective.SetMinimization()

C++

MPObjective* const objective = solver->MutableObjective();
for (size_t i = 0; i < data.size(); ++i) {
  objective->SetCoefficient(foods[i], 1);
}
objective->SetMinimization();

Java

MPObjective objective = solver.objective();
for (int i = 0; i < data.size(); ++i) {
  objective.setCoefficient(foods.get(i), 1);
}
objective.setMinimization();

C#

Objective objective = solver.Objective();
for (int i = 0; i < data.Length; ++i)
{
    objective.SetCoefficient(foods[i], 1);
}
objective.SetMinimization();

الدالة الهدف هي التكلفة الإجمالية للطعام، وهي مجموع المتغيرات food[i].

تحدّد الطريقة SetCoefficient معاملات الدالة الموضوعية، وجميعها 1 في هذه الحالة. أخيرًا، تشير السمة SetMinimization إلى أنّ هذه المشكلة تتطلّب تصغيرًا.
