I have the unknowns $w,x,y,z$ that are all in $\mathbb{N}$ and $\gt0$.

The known parameters $\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\delta$ are all in $\mathbb{N}$ and $\gt0$ too.

Given $\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\delta$, I need to find $w,x,y,z$ and these inequalities must be satisfied:

$\frac{w}{x+w}\leq\frac{1}{\alpha}$

$\frac{y}{y+z}\leq\frac{1}{\beta}$

$\frac{w+z}{x+y}\leq\frac{1}{\gamma}$

And also the following must be satisfied:

$w+x+y+z=\delta$

Is this problem solvable as an integer linear programming one?

Are the inequalities the constraints?

What is the objective function?

    $\begingroup$ The inequalities are linear when you get rid of the fractions, so yes, it is a MIP. What is the objective? It depends on you. You didn't provide one. If you just want to solve the feasibility problem the objective may as well be 0. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 29, 2019 at 8:11

Yes.

The inequalities and the equation. You might need to split the equation into two inequalities.

What is the objective function?

Pick anything.
