Cplex is stuck after root node relaxation solution
I am solving an MIP through Benders decomposition (coded both generic and legacy callback versions), by employing Java with Cplex 12.9. For some of the instances, Cplex is stuck for two hours (time ...

CPLEX Python: Current subproblem model in branch and bound
I have an MILP problem and use CPLEX (Python interface). I am working on user heuristics for branching in the branch-and-bound procedure. With HSCallback I managed to get the information about the ...

Linearize a highly non-linear objective function
[EDIT] : The formula below is updated to remove the radical, 0.5 in the term $(I_{i,v} \cdot \Delta t)$ and constant temperature $T$ replces temperature as function of current.
[EDIT] :The values of ...

From Quadratic to MILP?
I am playing around with some Quadratic Programs (QPs), and I want to check if my reasoning is right concerning a re-modeling from QP to MILP. So, let's consider the below QP:
(QP) $\min c^T x + x^T Q ...

Linearize objective function with non-linear terms
I have a problem with linear constraints but in the objective function I want to have some linear terms along with a $x^2$ term. So it is like the following:
$$\min \sum \limits _i \sum \limits _j (a[...

Function approximation of a complex objective function
I would like to approximate the following objective function using a simpler function that can use be defined in gurobi.
\begin{equation}
\min_{I_{i,v}} \ \sum^{N_v}_{v}\sum^{TT_v}_{i} \ C_{loss,...

Linearization of a quadratic model, what is the difference while using gurobi?
I have a quadratic model of parking $N$ cars in $S$ separate lanes as follows. Each car has an arrival time and a departure time. Departure follow the last in first out principle. The objective is to ...

How to linearize a max min objective function?
Let us suppose that I have a $\max \min$ objective function that only depends on one set of variables:
$\underset{x}\max \underset{y}\min dy$
Associated with the linear set of constraints and right ...

Linearization of the shifted copy of a function
Suppose in a model I have the expression $y_{1}(x) = 10 + 5 x^2$ where $x \in [0,20]$ is a continuous variable. In order to be able to use an MILP solver, I piecewise linearise $z_{1} = x^2$, by ...

Linearisation using SOS2
I am trying to linearise the following expresssion.
$C(k) = B(k) e^{-d(k)}, B(k) \ge 0 , d(k) \ge 0 $
I am trying to do this by using SOS2 sets.
I set $X(k) = e^{-d(k)}$ and I get $C(k) = B(k) X(...
