What's the linearization of the product between a discrete variable and a continuous varibale?

I am trying to linearize the product $z=xy$, where $x$ is an integer variable and $y$ a continuous variable, both non-negative, for an optimization problem. I have tried the SCIP formulation: $v_{bn} \...

Linearizing if else conditions in ILP

We are given three binary indicator variables $X_{ij}, Y_{jk}$ and $Z_{jl}$. Write linear constraints such that, a) if $X_{ij}$ is equal to 1, then for that $j$ when $X_{ij} = 1$, exactly one $Y_{jk} =...
