Hello,

          I have a weird problem while trying to solve the ampl code using couenne solver. When I tried to minimize it using constraint, X3 = max (0, X1 -2); it gave me the ERROR: unknown operator. But when I used constraint,  X3 = max (0, 9 -2); it gave me the optimal solution. Will you be able to help me with this? I have included the code and the solver output as a reference:-


var X1 >=0 <=9.5 integer;
var X2 >=0 <=9.5 integer;
var X3 >=0 integer;
minimize Y: -2540.33 -154.669 * X1 + 40.0895 * X2 + X3;
subject to a1: X3 = max (0, X1 -2);


ampl: reset;
ampl: include trial.run;
couenne:
ANALYSIS TEST: ERROR: unknown operator (address 0p741f20), aborting.
exit code 18446744073709551615
