Nonlinear integer programming models offer additional challenges for solution algorithms because the values of reduced gradients are valid only at the point of the optimal solution.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonlinear integer programming models are complex because the reduced gradients, which guide the optimization process, are only accurate at the optimal solution point, making it difficult to navigate the solution space.
