There is an error jean, I apologize... I made changes to the vectors and did not correct the bottom line... this is the correct run:a <-c(0,1,1,0,1,0,0,0,0) b <-c(0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0) c <-c(1,0,1,0,1,1,0,0,0) d <-c(0,1,0,1,0,1,0,0,0) df <-rbind(a,b,c,d) df <-cbind(df,h=c(sum(a)*8,sum(b)*8,sum(c)*8,sum(d)*8)) df <-cbind(df,df[,10]*c(1,2,3,2)) and I would like to minimize the value for sum(df[,11]) under the following conditions: 1. all values of a,b,c, and d are binary variables and are the variables to change to get the optimal result 2. sum(a), sum(b), and sum(d) should be each 5 or more 3. sum(c) should be 3 or less 4. a[2], a[3], b[2], d[7] and d[8] are fixed to their current values. sorry about that and thanks for taking the time to respond, Andras
