Global nonconvex quadratic optimization with Gurobi

We consider the problem of solving nonconvex quadratic optimization problems, potentially with additional integrality constraints on the variables.  Gurobi takes a branch-and-bound approach to solve such problems to global optimality, and in this talk we will review the three main algorithmic components that Gurobi uses:  Convex relaxations based on local linearization, globally valid cutting planes, and nonlinear local optimization heuristics.  We will explain how these parts play together, and discuss some of the implementation details.
