First, I made a mistake: The sets have seven extreme points each, one for one value of (a,b) and two each for the others. > What would the formulation be in that case? I think I'll let you do the math. Each constraint will be tight at three of the extreme points. That gives you three equations in four variables. Scaling is allowed, so one of the variables may be fixed. Check to make sure that the other extreme points satisfy the constraint. If some slacks are positive and others negative, the "facet" you have been deriving is invalid. If all are nonpositive and three are zero, then the direction is wrong. Note that you do not have to use constant bounds. If the bounds depend on (a,b) that is just fine. The narrower the bounds, the tighter the linear relaxation will be. Narrowing bounds might be worth considerable effort. ][Michael Hennebry wrote:] >> the feasible sets of (a,b,c-d) and (a,b,c-e) >> have four extreme points. >> Their convex hulls are tetrahedra. >> ]Yaron Kretchmer wrote: >> Now I'd like to be able to model conditional non-binary variables.
