摘要
A decomposition branch and bound approach is considered for the global minimization of an indefinite quadratic function over a polytope. The objective function is a sum of a nonseparable convex part and a separable concave part. In many large-scale problems the number of convex variables is much larger than that of concave variables. Taking advantage of this we use a branch and bound method where branching proceeds by rectangular subdivision of the subspace of concave variables. With the help of an easily constructed convex underestimator of the objective function, a lower bound is obtained by solving a convex quadratic programming problem. Three variants using exhaustive, adaptive and w-subdivision are discussed. Computational results are presented for problems with 10-20 concave variables and up to 200 convex variables.
