Linearize Quadratic Constraints
Type : Selection
Range : The settings listed below
Default : Automatic
This option controls presolve Q matrix linearization. Possible values are:
Automatic
Off
Strong relaxation
Compact relaxation
Settings ‘Strong relaxation’ and ‘Compact relaxation’ attempt to linearize quadratic constraints or a quadratic objective, potentially transforming an MIQP or MIQCP model into an MIP. Option ‘Strong relaxation’ focuses on getting a strong LP relaxation while option ‘Compact relaxation’ aims for a compact relaxation. Option ‘Off’ shuts off the transformation. The default setting chooses automatically. The automatic setting works well, but there are cases where forcing Q linearization can be beneficial.
