Detailed Description

constraint handler for nonlinear constraints $\textrm{lhs} \leq \sum_{i=1}^n a_ix_i + \sum_{j=1}^m c_jf_j(x) \leq \textrm{rhs}$

Author: Stefan Vigerske

This constraint handler handles constraints of the form

$\textrm{lhs} \leq \sum_{i=1}^n a_ix_i + \sum_{j=1}^m c_jf_j(x) \leq \textrm{rhs},$

where $a_i$ and $c_j$ are coefficients and $f_j(x)$ are nonlinear functions (given as expression tree).

Constraints are enforced by separation, domain propagation, and spatial branching.

For convex or concave $f_j(x)$ , cuts that separate on the convex hull of the function graph are implemented. For that are not known to be convex or concave, a simple variant of linear estimation based on interval gradients is implemented.

Branching is performed for variables in nonconvex terms, if the relaxation solution cannot be separated.

This header offers the upgrade functionality to upgrade a general nonlinear constraint into a more specific constraint via SCIP_DECL_NONLINCONSUPGD().

Furthermore, the definition of callbacks used to reformulate an expression graph is offered by SCIP_DECL_EXPRGRAPHNODEREFORM().

Further, the function representation is stored in an expression graph, which allows to propagate variable domains and constraint sides and offers a simple convexity check. During presolve, the expression graph is reformulated, whereby new variables and constraints are created such that for the remaining nonlinear constraints the functions $f_j(x)$ are known to be convex or concave.

upgrading method for nonlinear constraints into more specific constraints

the method might upgrade a nonlinear constraint into a set of upgrade constraints the caller provided an array upgdconss to store upgrade constraints the length of upgdconss is given by upgdconsssize if an upgrade is not possible, set *nupgdconss to zero if more than upgdconsssize many constraints shall replace cons, the function should return the required number as negated value in *nupgdconss i.e., if cons should be replaced by 3 constraints, the function should set *nupgdconss to -3 and return with SCIP_OKAY

input:

scip : SCIP main data structure
cons : the nonlinear constraint to upgrade
nupgdconss : pointer to store number of constraints that replace this constraint
upgdconss : array to store constraints that replace this constraint
upgdconsssize : length of the provided upgdconss array

reformulation method for expression graph nodes

The method might reformulate a node in an expression graph by adding auxiliary constraints and/or variables. The caller provided an expression graph node which is to be reformulated. If the method takes action, it has to return the node that should replace the given node in *reformnode. The caller will then ensure that all parents of node will use *reformnode, so node may be freed. If the method does not do any reformulation, it shall return NULL in *reformnode. The counter naddcons can be used to setup the names of added variables/constraints. The method should increase this counter by the number of added constraints. The method has to ensure that the reformulated node, if still valid, has valid bound and curvature information.

input:

scip : SCIP main data structure
exprgraph : the expression graph which node to reformulate
node : the expression graph node to reformulate
naddcons : counter on number of added constraints so far

output:

naddcons : to be increased by number of additionally added constraints
reformnode : reformulated node to replace node with, or NULL if no reformulation
