Nonlinear solver for CPLEX

Add nonlinear optimization capability to CPLEX. Many real-life models are nonlinear by nature. CPLEX solver requires a linear model to work. A good nonlinear solver can often times overperform a linearized form of a real-life model. Having a nonli...

OPL language enhancements : cannot slice with nested constraints on subTuples

I've been a happy user of OPL language, which has lots of wonderful features. However, there is one remaining recurrent issue in data modeling, which prevents some intuitive modeling. This is called "cannot slice with nested constraints on subTupl...

Add maximal delay constraint for startBeforeStart, startBeforeEnd, ... constraints

I often have a constraint between interval variables that limit the maximum delay between the start/end and start/end of interval variables. I'd like a native, efficient method for implementing this constraint. I currently use constraints using fu...
