Example

Minimize Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f(x)= y_{1} +y_{2} + \big(x_{1}\big)^{2} +\big(x_{2}\big)^{2} } Subject to Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \big(x_{1}-2\big)^{2}-x_{2} \leq 0} Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x_{1}-2y_{1} \geq 0}

$$x_{1}-x_{2}-3{\big (}1-y_{1}{\big )}\geq 0$$

Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x_{1}+y_{1}-1\geq 0}

$$x_{2}-y_{2}\geq 0$$

$$x_{1}+x_{2}\geq 3y_{1}$$

$$y_{1}+y_{2}\geq 1$$

$$0\leq x_{1}\leq 4$$

$$0\leq x_{2}\leq 4$$

$$y_{1},y_{2}\in {\big \{}0,1{\big \}}$$

Solution
Step 1a: Start from ${\textstyle y_{1}=y_{2}=1}$ and solve the NLP below:
Minimize

$$f=2+{\big (}x_{1}{\big )}^{2}+{\big (}x_{2}{\big )}^{2}$$

Subject to

$${\big (}x_{1}-2{\big )}^{2}-x_{2}\leq 0$$

$$x_{1}-2\geq 0$$

$$x_{1}-x_{2}\geq 0$$
