Tighter McCormick Relaxations through Subgradient Propagation
Tight convex and concave relaxations are of high importance in the field of deterministic global optimization. We present a heuristic to tighten relaxations obtained by the McCormick technique. We use the McCormick subgradient propagation (Mitsos et al., SIAM J. Optim., 2009) to construct simple affine under- and overestimators of each factor of the original factorable … Read more
