An efficient solution method for the MINLP optimization of chemical processes
Process synthesis often involves the solution of large nonlinear discretecontinuous optimization problems, which are usually formulated as mixedinteger nonlinear programming (MINLP) or generalized disjunctive programming (GDP) problems and solved with MINLP solvers. This paper presents an efficient solution method for these problems named successive relaxed MINLP (SR-MINLP), where the model for...
متن کاملImproved Formulations and Computational Strategies for the Solution and Nonconvex Generalized Disjunctive Programs
Many optimization problems require the modelling of discrete and continuous variables, giving rise to mixed-integer linear and mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MILP / MINLP). An alternative representation of MINLP is Generalized Disjunctive Programming (GDP)1. GDP models are represented through continuous and Boolean variables, and involve algebraic equations, disjunctions, and logic propos...
متن کاملDisjunctive Cuts for Nonconvex Minlp
Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) problems present two main challenges: the integrality of a subset of variables and nonconvex (nonlinear) objective function and constraints. Many exact solvers for MINLP are branch-and-bound algorithms that compute a lower bound on the optimal solution using a linear programming relaxation of the original problem. In order to solve these problems to o...

متن کاملLOGMIP : a discrete continuous nonlinear optimizer
Discrete-continuous non-linear optimization models are frequently used to formulate problems in Process System Engineering. Major modeling alternatives and solution algorithms include generalized disjunctive programming and MINLP. Both have advantages and drawbacks depending on the problem they are dealing with. In this work, we describe the theory behind LOGMIP, a new computer code for disjunc...
