Abstract

In the absence of general algorithms for nonlinear programming problems, it lies near at hand to explore the possibilities of approximate solution by linearization. If the nonlinear functions of an MP problem can be replaced by piecewise linear functions, these approximations may be expressed in such a way that the whole problem is turned into a case of linear programming.
