Outer approximation algorithms for separable nonconvex mixed-integer nonlinear programs

TL;DR: A rigorous decomposition approach to solve separable mixed-integer nonlinear programs where the participating functions are nonconvex is presented and numerical results are compared with currently available algorithms for example problems, illuminating the potential benefits of the proposed algorithm.
Journal ArticleDOI

Generalized branch-and-cut framework for mixed-integer nonlinear optimization problems

TL;DR: A generalized branch and cut (GBC) algorithm is proposed and it is shown that both decomposition and BB algorithms are specific instances of the GBC algorithm with a certain set of heuristics, providing a unified framework for comparing BB and decomposition algorithms.
Book ChapterDOI

The myth of decomposition

TL;DR: A Generalized Branch and Cut (GBC) algorithm is presented here and it is shown that all current decomposition and BB algorithms are essentially specific instances of GBC with different sets of heuristics.
