Hear, hear. Is this good for optimization problems over the reals, or only finite-domain problems? If the former, can it solve nonlinear problems?

- herrkevin 9y agoIt depends on the solver backend. Some only solve finite domain problems. I think all of them (for general constraint programming) can solve non-linear problems. Obviously if you use a backend that only solves mixed integer linear programs, then you are more restricted.
- hakank 9y agoSome of the FlatZinc solvers can handle (nonlinear) finite-domain problems, and some just linear MIP problems with floats. Some solvers, e.g. Gecode and JaCoP, can handle nonlinear problems with floats as well as finite-domain problems.
