Abstract

In this chapter we discuss the problem of validation of nominations as a nonsmooth and nonconvex mixed-integer nonlinear feasibility problem. For this problem we present a primal heuristic that is based on reformulation techniques that smooth the appearing nonsmooth aspects and that reformulate discrete aspects with complementarity constraints and problem specific relaxations. The resulting mathematical program with equilibrium constraints (MPEC) model can be regularized by standard techniques leading to a nonlinear program (NLP) type model. Solutions to the latter can finally be used as approximative solutions to the underlying feasibility problem.
