A Reformulation-Linearization Technique for Solving Discrete and Continuous Nonconvex Problems

by Hanif D. Sherali and W. P. Adams

Book Overview

This book deals with the theory and applications of the Reformulation- Linearization/Convexification Technique (RL T) for solving nonconvex optimization problems. A unified treatment of discrete and continuous nonconvex programming problems is presented using this approach. In essence, the bridge between these two types of nonconvexities is made via a polynomial representation of discrete constraints. For example, the binariness on a 0-1 variable...
