! XNLP example demonstrating the need for penalty feasiblity breakers
!
! This is an SLP specific example.
! Using Xpress-SLP, this examples solves two problem types that relate to various
! infeasibilities in SLP:
!   One originating from steps taken along the linearization
!   and one originating from deviation from the linearization
!
! This example demonstrates a particular non-linear optimization concept as related
! to Xpress NonLinear.
! The version of the example is for Xpress 7.5.

! There is only one constraint. It is not possible to stay on the surface of
! the nonlinear constraint, but feasiblity is achieved by virtue of
! convergnece
x^2+y^2 = 1
minimize(y)
writeln("x = ", getsol(x),", y = ",getsol(y))

! adding another constraint, not even necessarily nonlinear
! it is no longer possible to move along the linearization
Additional := nlctr(x + y = 1)
! Note that the previous optimal solution is on this constraint
! This definition demonstrates an explicit type cast in Mosel
! The constraint will still be loaded as linear, but the cast
! will allow its redefinition as a nonlinear constraint
minimize(y)
writeln("x = ", getsol(x),", y = ",getsol(y))

! In the previous example the extra linear constraint aided the search
! Replacing it with a more complex nonlienar constrint demonstrates how SLP
! sometimes struggle to stay on the linearizations
Additional := sin(x) + sin(y) = 1
minimize(y)
