Global optimization of bounded factorable functions with discontinuities

A deterministic global optimization method is developed for a class of discontinuous functions. McCormick's method to obtain relaxations of nonconvex functions is extended to discontinuous factorable functions by representing a discontinuity with a step function. The properties of the relaxatio...
