Jan 20, 2010 at 4:35 comment added freddy smith now suppose in addition to a Q1 (Q1=0 or a <= Q1 <= b) and Q2 (Q2 = 0 or c <= Q2 <= d), how would I formulate the same thing for an additional constraint using those 2 vars, i.e. (Q1 + Q2) = 0, or e <= Q1 + Q2 <= f ? Do I need to introduce a 3rd binary for this or use some combination of the existing two binary vars for Q1 and Q2?

Jan 17, 2010 at 9:30 comment added freddy smith thanks that solution worked well. I also found in the lp solve documentation that a decision var can be declared as "semi-continuous", in this case the result is the same so underneath it might be doing the same modelling trick.
