- Avoid opinionated statements such as “MINLP problems are usually the hardest to solve”.
- Rearrange the text such that the MINLP formulation is in the theory section and keep the introduction in words only.
- Theory, methodology, and/or algorithmic discussions
- Consider left aligning equations and optimization problem formulations by the “=”. See https://optimization.cbe.cornell.edu/index.php?title=Stochastic_programming for an example
- The sentence “The Outer-Approximation (OA) algorithm was first proposed by Duran and and Grossmann in 1986 to solve MINLP problems.” needs a reference.
- At least one numerical example
- Every iteration should be clearly presented, and solved "step-by-step".
- “Minimize” and “subject to” should be “min” and “s.t.” in MathType
- A section to discuss and/or illustrate the applications
- Does not explicitly point out why OA is applicable (and/or preferred) in these applications, rather than other MINLP approaches (show that the problem formulations are amenable to a solution approach through OA)
- The sentence “... an active research area and there exists a vast number of applications in fields such as engineering, computational chemistry, and finance.” needs references.
- Posting GAMS code on the page is generally inappropriate and discouraged. Please check with the TAs or me if you have a strong desire to post GAMS codes on the Wiki page. A typical textbook should not be limited to a specific software package. If the GAMS code must be posted, please also post ALL other software implementation versions, such as Pyomo and JuliaOPT, among others.
- Consider reformatting to make steps more readable. Inserting spaces and breaking down steps would help.
- Too short. Consider discussion on future research direction and discussion on uncertainty
- Please review abbreviations throughout the page. Why is MINLP redefined here? “Outer-Approximation is a well known efficient approach for solving convex mixed-integer nonlinear programs (MINLP)”.
- Include hyperlinks to references if possible. Please consider having the references appear as in this Wiki template, https://optimization.cbe.cornell.edu/index.php?title=Quantum_computing_for_optimization
- Remove "Template:Reflist"
- Author list
- An introduction of the topic

- Uppercase characters are used randomly (e.g., “non-convex transmission Constraints”) . Please follow correct language conventions for sentence structure.
- Avoid inserting inline citations after words like “written in matrix form as equation [3]..” or “presented in [3]...” as it is a bit informal when you don’t explicitly name the subject. Also these two sentences are grammatically incorrect and appear to be missing an ending period and comma, respectively.
- Don’t say “written in matrix form as equation..” and just cite the reference, actually write out the equation.
- Properly label the figure in this section with a figure number and improve visibility by making it larger.
- At least one numerical example

- Fix typo “while minimize” to “while minimizing”.
- Avoid pronouns such as “we”.
- Use the equation editor when typing equations.
- A numerical example is simply "numerical" and does not need any application context (similar to those numerical problems in HW assignments). There is an Application section where you discuss the applications.
- The Numerical Example section needs a "step-by-step" calculation process and a clear presentation of each step's results. (again, similar to the way of solving an HW problem).
- A section to discuss and/or illustrate the applications:
- I suggest changing the order of the subtitles here. For example, Single-Period Unit Commitment.

- An introduction of the topic
- The introduction is missing several references (e.g., “software packages like computational fluid dynamics..”, sentences containing things that aren’t common knowledge, performance claims, etc.)
- Avoid discussion involving finer details of subject methods in this section.

- Avoid pronouns such as “we” or “they”.
- Phrases like “under the following” need to be followed by a colon.
- Properly label the figure with a figure number and consider making them larger to improve visibility. Call the reader's attention to the figures in text by referencing the figure number.
- “As seen in the video below” is stated yet there are only images present and it may be initially unclear to the reader which figure is being referenced here.
- Avoid inserting inline citations like “[4] introduces an..” as it is a bit informal when you don’t explicitly name the subject.
- Don’t just cite the reference when discussing the problem formulation, explicitly write the model formulation and solution process using LaTex or equation visual editor.
- Your team should ideally create a numerical example independently. If you take a numerical example directly from a textbook, etc., you will need to get explicit permission from the author in writing and share that written permission with me.
- A numerical example is simply "numerical" and does not need any application context (similar to those numerical problems in HW assignments). There is an Application section where you discuss the applications.
- The Numerical Example section needs a "step-by-step" calculation process and a clear presentation of each step's results. (again, similar to the way of solving an HW problem).
