Quadratic Programming

In this chapter we turn the LP problem from Chapter 3 into a Quadratic Programming (QP) problem, and the first MIP model from Chapter 6 into a Mixed Integer Quadratic Programming (MIQP) problem. The chapter shows how to

• define quadratic objective functions,
• incrementally define and solve problems,
• understand and exploit the MIP optimization displays.

Chapter 12 shows how to formulate and solve the same examples with BCL and in Chapter 17 the QP problem is input and solved directly with Xpress Optimizer.
