mixed integer linear programs

Hello all ,

i am new in the linear programming topic in Matlab and i have the following questions

1) in the " mixed integer linear programs " , the the input objective function should be in terms of matrix that includes number , i don't know how to convert my function into number. it is something like :

symsum( symsum(c(i,j)*x(i,j))/sqrt(q-w)^2,i,1,M),j,1,N))

i want to min this function over C and w. where C is binary

all the examples on google , Youtube... has an easy objective function

if anyone could at least give me hint to begin , i will appreciate it.

2) my constraint is summation for the variable , and i want to write it as A and b.

Actually i don't know the answer , i just need a hint to begin

thanks in advance so much <3

Your objective function is nonlinear. The problem therefore does not fit into the category of "mixed integer linear programs".

Depending on how "w" interacts with C in the constraints, you may be able to minimize with respect to c(i,j) as a binary linear program, with w held constant.
