Sequence of Polyhedral Relaxations for Nonlinear Univariate Functions

1 code implementation27 May 2020 Kaarthik Sundar, Sujeevraja Sanjeevi, Harsha Nagarajan

Given a nonlinear, univariate, bounded, and differentiable function $f(x)$, this article develops a sequence of Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) and Linear Programming (LP) relaxations that converge to the graph of $f(x)$ and its convex hull, respectively.
