0-1 Piecewise linearization approach for interval-parameter nonlinear programming: application to environmental management under uncertaintyA paper submitted to the Journal of Environmental Engineering and Science.

Interval-parameter nonlinear programming (INP) is an extension of conventional nonlinear optimization methods for handling both nonlinearities and uncertainties. However, challenges exist in its solution method, leading to difficulties in obtaining a global optimum. In this study, a 0-1 piecewise approximation approach is provided for solving the INP, through integration with an interactive algorithm for interval-parameter optimization …
