Tutorial 9: Transformations in integer programming
ocw.mit.eduNon-linear Objectives . Another great application of integer programming is non-linear objectives. Many times in practice, the costs are non-linear. This can be due to “ fixed costs ” or quantity discounts, or increasing marginal costs or decreasing marginal costs. Our friends will present a couple of techniques for modeling non-linear ...

A mathematical optimization problem is one in which some function is either maximized or minimized relative to a given set of alternatives. The function to be minimized or maximized is called the objective function and the set of alternatives is called the feasible region (or
