Technical Terms Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP): An optimisation framework that integrates discrete variables with continuous nonlinear functions to model complex decision-making problems.

The maximum likelihood estimation involved generates a high-dimensional mixed-integer nonlinear optimization problem. A highly efficient solution strategy is tested, exploiting the separable structure ...

Starting from a known, nonlinear, integer programming formulation, we propose two alternative formulations for which algorithms already exist. First, we indicate how to transform the SPWC into a ...
