# linearzation question

 0 let b,c be two variables which will be determined in model and a is parameter. How to linearize the following condition. if b,c

 0 I've added the tag "conditional-constraint". If you look through the answers there, you might find something you can adapt. You'll need a pair of binary variables and big-M type constraints, one for each part of the antecedent ("if" condition), and another pair of big-M type constraints to enforce the consequents. Also, your antecedent needs to be a weak inequality ($$\le$$), not a strict inequality. Strict inequalities are taboo in most types of optimization model. answered 11 Oct '17, 15:22 Paul Rubin ♦♦ 14.6k●5●13 accept rate: 19%
