Absolute Power Constraints

This constraint handler handles constraints of the form

\[ \textrm{lhs} \leq \textrm{sign}(x+a) |x+a|^n + c z \leq \textrm{rhs} \]

for \(n > 1.0\) a rational number, \(a\) and \(c\) arbitrary, and \(x\) and \(z\) variables. Note that \(x\) can have \(-a\) in the interior of its domain.

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

Cuts that separate on the convex hull of the graph of \(\textrm{sign}(x+a) |x+a|^n\) are generated as long as they separate the relaxation solution. Otherwise, spatial branching on \(x\) is applied.

Further, domain propagation is implemented to propagate bound changes on \(x\) onto \(z\), and vice versa, and repropagation is implemented to allow for conflict analysis. During presolve, a pairwise comparison of absolute power constraints may allow to fix or aggregate some variables. See also
