How to deal with an optimization problem that have a sum of nonlinear functions of Z as a constraint when Z is the quantity to be minimized?
I have to minimize a quantity $Z$ subject to the following constraints:
$$ w_1 + w_2 + w_3 = 1 \tag{1}$$
$$ \frac{f_1(w_1 Z) + f_2(w_2 Z) + f_3(w_3 Z)}{Z} \ge k \tag{2}$$
where $k$ is a known ...

Switching of decision variables to be equal to a certain decision variable according to a binary (indicator) variable
I would like to seek some advice on modeling the following:
I have two integer decisions variables, $x, x'$, that are either equal or greater than zero and either of them is to be equated to a third ...

Reformulating to locate the second largest decision variable of a set of decision variables
Consider a set of $A_{vn}$ decision variables such that $A_{v1},A_{v2},\cdots,A_{vn}<A$. While this is the standard formulation finding the maximum value of $A_{vn}$, I would also like to find the ...

Linearize sum of continuous and boolean variable
For maximizing the objective function $\sum_i{d_i y_i}+ A x - B \cdot \mathbb{I}_{x>0}$, how can I linearize $ A x - B \cdot \mathbb{I}_{x>0}$ term where $d_i, A$ and $B$ are positive constants ...

Cases where RLT/SDP relaxation does not work well with standard quadratic optimization
(For people who don't know what RLT is): I am maximizing an indefinite quadratic function over a standard simplex, i.e., the standard quadratic optimization problem. A well-known approach is to relax ...
