Example

Minimize

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

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

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

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

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

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

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