Clearly, the optimal objective value of this nonlinear program provides a valid lower/upper bound on * variable \f$ x_i \f$. * * The propagator sorts all variables w.r.t. their occurrences in convex nonlinear constraints and solves sequentially * all convex NLPs. Variables which could be successfully tightened by the propagator will be prioritized in the next * call of a new node in the branch-and-bound tree. By default, the propagator requires at least one nonconvex * constraints to be executed. For purely convex problems, the benefit of having tighter bounds is negligible. * * By default, NLOBBT is only applied for non-binary variables. A reason for this can be found here . Variables which do not appear non-linearly in the * nonlinear constraints will not be considered even though they might lead to additional tightenings. * * After solving the NLP to optimize \f$ x_i \f$ we try to exploit the dual information to generate a globally valid * inequality, called Generalized Variable Bound (see @ref prop_genvbounds.h). Let \f$ \lambda_j \f$, \f$ \mu \f$, \f$ * \alpha \f$, and \f$ \beta \f$ be the dual multipliers for the constraints of the NLP where \f$ \alpha \f$ and \f$ * \beta \f$ correspond to the variable bound constraints. Because of the convexity of \f$ g_j \f$ we know that * * \f[ * g_j(x) \ge g_j(x^*) + \nabla g_j(x^*)(x-x^*) * \f] * * holds for every \f$ x^* \in [\ell,u] \f$. Let \f$ x^* \f$ be the optimal solution after solving the NLP for the case * of minimizing \f$ x_i \f$ (similiar for the case of maximizing \f$ x_i \f$). Since the NLP is convex we know that the * KKT conditions * * \f[ * e_i + \lambda' \nabla g(x^*) + \mu' c + \alpha - \beta = 0 * \f] * \f[ * \lambda_j g_j(x^*) = 0 * \f] * * hold. Aggregating the inequalities \f$ x_i \ge x_i \f$ and \f$ g_j(x) \le 0 \f$ leads to the inequality * * \f[ * x_i \ge x_i + \sum_{j} g_j(x_i) * \f] * * Instead of calling the (expensive) propagator during the tree search we can use this inequality to derive further * reductions on \f$ x_i \f$. Multiplying the first KKT condition by \f$ (x - x^*) \f$ and using the fact that each * \f$ g_j \f$ is convex we can rewrite the previous inequality to * * \f[ * x_i \ge (\beta - \alpha)'x + (e_i + \alpha - \beta) x^* + \mu \mathcal{U}. * \f] * * which is passed to the genvbounds propagator. Note that if \f$ \alpha_i \neq \beta_i \f$ we know that the bound of * \f$ x_i \f$ is the proof for optimality and thus no useful genvbound can be found. */ /*---+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6----+----7----+----8----+----9----+----0----+----1----+----2*/ #ifndef __SCIP_PROP_NLOBBT_H__ #define __SCIP_PROP_NLOBBT_H__ #include "scip/def.h" #include "scip/type_retcode.h" #include "scip/type_scip.h" #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif /** creates the nlobbt propagator and includes it in SCIP * * @ingroup PropagatorIncludes */ SCIP_EXPORT SCIP_RETCODE SCIPincludePropNlobbt( SCIP* scip /**< SCIP data structure */ ); #ifdef __cplusplus } #endif #endif
