  • 1.  Can ILOG solve nonlinear programming?

    Hello everyone,

    I am wondering if ILOG have solves which could solve models with nonlinear objective and linear constraints.

    Could CP solve such problems?

    Thanks!

    If the decision variables in your problem is not float, then ILOG CPO can handle.

    BTW, this is CPLEX Optimizer forum, you can go to
    http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=268
    to ask CPO questions.

    CPLEX (math programming) can only solve problems with linear and/or quadratic constraints/objectives, and only if they are convex.

    ... with the exception of the case of a quadratic objective and linear constraints (and no integrality restriction). Here, the objective can also be non-convex, but in this case CPLEX would only find a local KKT solution and not necessarily a global optimum.
