I am trying to solve an optimization problem in which one of the constraints is : x*y=0, where x and y are decision variables and only x or y can be positive. In other words, if x!=0 then y=0 and if y!=0 then x=0. Please help
Assumption: x
and y
are nonnegative
Infer upper-bounds UB_x
and UB_y
for x
, y
Introduce new boolean variable b
Add constraints:
x <= (1-b) * UB_x
y <= b * UB_y
