Abstract

In this work, we propose a modification on the Extended Cutting Plane algorithm (ECP) that solves convex mixed integer nonlinear programming problems. Our approach, called Modified Extended Cutting Plane (MECP), is inspired on the strategy of updating the set of linearization points in the Outer Approximation algorithm (OA). Computational results over a set of 343 test instances show the effectiveness of the proposed method MECP, which outperforms ECP and is competitive to OA.
