Convergence of a continuous approach for zero-one programming problems (Q621018)

The authors present a re-formulation of a zero-one programming problem as an equivalent continuous problem via the use of the Fischer-Burmeister function. The first two sections present an overview of this problem and the re-formulation as an ordinary nonlinear programming program. The third section uses the augmented Lagrangian method to solve this new problem, and the final section presents the convergence properties of this approach, which leads to a solution for the original problem.
