Global optimization of MIQCPs with dynamic piecewise relaxations

We propose a new deterministic global optimization algorithm for solving mixed-integer bilinear programs. It relies on a two-stage decomposition strategy featuring mixed-integer linear programming relaxations to compute estimates of the global optimum, and constrained non-linear versions of the original non-convex mixed-integer nonlinear program to find feasible solutions. As an alternative to spatial branch-and-bound with bilinear envelopes, …
