A simple technique to improve linearized reformulations of fractional (hyperbolic) 0–1 programming problems

We consider reformulations of fractional (hyperbolic) 0–1 programming problems as equivalent mixed-integer linear programs (MILP). The key idea of the proposed technique is to exploit binary representations of certain linear combinations of the 0–1 decision variables. Consequently, under some mild c...

Description
Summary:We consider reformulations of fractional (hyperbolic) 0–1 programming problems as equivalent mixed-integer linear programs (MILP). The key idea of the proposed technique is to exploit binary representations of certain linear combinations of the 0–1 decision variables. Consequently, under some mild conditions, the number of product terms that need to be linearized can be greatly decreased. We perform numerical experiments comparing the proposed approach against the previous MILP reformulations used in the literature.
