Hi Nathann, thanks for your quick reply. That is unfortunately. Alternatively, if only I could find a way that I can make a list of binary symbolic variables x[0] , ..., x[n-1] that I can work with over GF(2), this would give me something to go from. While this is somewhat unrelated, would you know how to accomplish this?

Hi asksage!

I'm using the MixedIntegerLinearProgram class to model a mixed integer linear program. I am using binary variables created e.g. by x = mip.new_variable(binary=True, name="x"). Now, I am using this variable e.g. by x[0] or x[3,2]. When I create a constraint using sums over binary variables, this sum is in the integers, as it should be. However, I am wondering if there is another way to easily add such variables together over GF(2) such that e.g. x[0] + x[0] disappears from the equation?

I ask because my model is too complicated to write by hand, so I am using some auxiliary methods to construct constraints and variables, etc.

I hope you can help me out!
