Create a problem with piecewise linear functions Description Create a simple problem using the modeling construct xpress.pwl (in piecewise_linear.py)
and the API function problem.addpwlcons (in piecewise_linear2.py) for creating piecewise linear functions. Further explanation of this example: 'Xpress Python Reference Manual'

piecewise_linear2.py
# Example that uses the problem.addpwlcons method to approximate nonlinear
# univariate functions. This is equivalent to piecewise_linear.py,
# where we use xpress.pwl() instead of problem.addpwlcons() for
# readability.
