Hi. I have a binary variable and a nonlinear constraint in my model. Since I dont want to use MINLP I would like to change my non-linear constraint to a linear one and use MILP.(If it is possible). I could not convert the constraint yet so I thought maybe you have an idea.
I have two variables as "D" and "Ad" and the condition is:
if D<0 then Ad=D
if D>=0 then 0<=Ad<=D
I model the constraint as
(D-|D|)/2<= Ad <=D
so the left side takes "D" if "D" is negative and "Ad" will be equal to "D" and it takes 0 if "D" is positive. I could not change this problem to linear. I know we can use binary variable to change absolute value to the linear form but since I already have a binary variable, by adding a new one the size will be huge and it is not solvable with the memory we have. I appreciate any idea you have.
