Hi Michela, It looks like you're referring to JuMP, in which case:
@defVar(m, a <= x <= b, SemiCont) should do the trick. See also the documentation: http://jump.readthedocs.org/en/release-0.8/refvariable.html?highlight=semicontinuous We prefer to direct optimization-related questions to julia-opt <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/julia-opt>, for future reference.
