A Review of Piecewise Linearization Methods

Various optimization problems in engineering and management are formulated as nonlinear programming problems. Because of the nonconvexity nature of this kind of problems, no efficient approach is available to derive the global optimum of the problems. How to locate a global optimal solution of a non...
