Le problème de l'alimentation Stigler

Dans cette section, nous expliquons comment résoudre un problème classique appelé régime Stigler, nommé d'après le prix Nobel d'économie George Stigler, qui a élaboré une méthode peu coûteuse pour répondre aux besoins nutritionnels de base d'un ensemble d'aliments. Il a présenté cela comme un exercice mathématique, et non comme des recommandations alimentaires, bien que la notion de calcul de la nutrition optimale ait devenu en vogue depuis peu.

Le régime Stigler exigeait que ces seuils minimums soient respectés:

Liste des nutriments

Nutriments	Apport quotidien recommandé
Calories	3 000 calories
Protéines	70 g
Calcium	0,8 g
Fer	12 milligrammes
Vitamine A	5 000 UI
Thiamine (vitamine B1)	1,8 milligramme
Riboflavine (vitamine B2)	2,7 milligrammes
Niacine	18 milligrammes
Acide ascorbique (vitamine C)	75 milligrammes

L'ensemble d'aliments évalués par Stigler reflète le temps (1944). Les données nutritionnelles ci-dessous sont exprimées par dollar, et non par unité. L'objectif est donc de déterminer le nombre d'euros à dépenser pour chaque denrée alimentaire.

Comme les nutriments ont tous été normalisés par le prix, notre objectif est simplement de minimiser la somme des aliments.

En 1944, Stigler a calculé la meilleure réponse possible, notant avec tristesse:

...il ne semble y avoir aucune méthode directe permettant de trouver le minimum d'une fonction linéaire soumise à des conditions linéaires.

Il a découvert un régime alimentaire qui coûte 39,93 USD par an, en dollars de 1939. En 1947, Jack Laderman a utilisé la méthode simplex (alors une invention récente !) pour déterminer la solution optimale. Il a fallu 120 jours-homme à neuf employés sur des calculatrices de bureau pour arriver à la réponse.

Déclarer le résolveur LP

Le code suivant instancie le wrapper 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;
}

Créer les variables

Le code suivant crée les variables correspondant au problème.

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()}");

La méthode MakeNumVar crée une variable, food[i], pour chaque ligne de la table. Comme indiqué précédemment, les données nutritionnelles sont exprimées par euro, food[i] correspond donc au montant à dépenser pour les marchandises i.

Définir les contraintes

Les contraintes du régime alimentaire de Stigler exigent que la quantité totale de nutriments fournies par tous les aliments corresponde au moins aux exigences minimales. Nous écrivons ensuite ces contraintes en tant qu'inégalités impliquant les tableaux data et nutrients, et les variables food[i].

Tout d'abord, la quantité de nutriments i fournie par l'aliment j par dollar est de data[j][i+3] (nous ajoutons 3 à l'index de colonne, car les données nutritionnelles commencent dans la quatrième colonne de data). Étant donné que la quantité d'argent à dépenser pour la nourriture j est de food[j], la quantité de nutriments i fournie par l'aliment j est\(data[j][i+3] \cdot food[j]\). Enfin, comme l'exigence minimale pour le nutriment i est nutrients[i][1], nous pouvons écrire la contrainte i comme suit:

\( \sum_{j} data[j][i+3] \cdot food[j] \geq nutrients[i][1] \;\;\;\;\; (1) \)

Le code suivant définit ces contraintes.

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()}");

La méthode Python Constraint (correspondant à la méthode C++ MakeRowConstraint) crée les contraintes pour le problème. Pour chaque i, constraint(nutrients[i][1], solver.infinity)

Cela crée une contrainte dans laquelle une combinaison linéaire des variables food[j] (définies ensuite) est supérieure ou égale à nutrients[i][1]. Les coefficients de l'expression linéaire sont définis par la méthode SetCoefficient comme suit: SetCoefficient(food[j], data[j][i+3]

Cela définit le coefficient de food[j] sur data[j][i+3].

En résumé, le code définit les contraintes exprimées dans l'élément (1) ci-dessus.

Créer l'objectif

Le code suivant définit la fonction d'objectif du problème.

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();

La fonction d'objectif est le coût total des aliments, qui correspond à la somme des variables food[i].

La méthode SetCoefficient définit les coefficients de la fonction objectif, qui sont tous 1 dans ce cas. Enfin, SetMinimization déclare qu'il s'agit d'un problème de minimisation.

Appeler le résolveur

Le code suivant appelle le résolveur.

Python

print(f"Solving with {solver.SolverVersion()}")
status = solver.Solve()

C++

const MPSolver::ResultStatus result_status = solver->Solve();

Java

final MPSolver.ResultStatus resultStatus = solver.solve();

C#

Solver.ResultStatus resultStatus = solver.Solve();
