Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Demand scenarios are explicit hire intervals plus turnaround; exact interval peak gives interchangeable-asset requirement. Supported limits: All numeric inputs and computed intermediates must remain finite. Supported numeric input magnitude is zero or 1e-12 through 1e12 in absolute value; reject values outside this bounded range. All lists/JSON record tables are limited to 100 records unless a stricter bound is stated; reject malformed record arity and wrong member types. Each scenario1..100 intervals start<end, positive integer assets; turnaround>=0; supply same asset class.
