When needing to eliminate a potential $$match$$ in a LP$/$Assignment model, which choice below is NOT a reasonable or correct strategy. Assume our model goal is to minimize a cost in determining the optimal matchings.

Associate a small number in the objective function with the corresponding $$match$$ decision variable.

Add a constraint that sets the corresponding $$match$$ decision variable to be $<=0.$

Do not include the corresponding $$match$$ cell as a decision variable in the Solver model.

Make the objective function value very $$unattractive$$ for that corresponding $$match$$ decision variable.
