how can i use gurobi 11 to quickly get the lower bound of my MINLP model?
Awaiting user input
Hi, I built a MINLP model by Gurobi 11+YALMIP. The nonconvex terms in my model are bilinear terms and square terms. Now I hope that I can use Gurobi to quickly get the lower bound of my model, since it took a long time for Gurobi to get the globally optimal solution. However, I found that the lower bound during the solution process is not tight enough. How can I use Gurobi to get a more tight lower bound quickly? Is there any parameter that I can set through yalmip sdpsettings?

Hi Yinhong,
I do not know YALMIP well enough so I cannot help with direct YALMIP code but I will try to provide some general input.

For nonconvex models, trying different formulations often helps. You should also always try to provide tight lower and upper bounds for all variables participating in a nonlinear term. As for parameters, you could experiment with Presolve, MIPFocus, Cuts, Heuristics.
Could you please share Gurobi's log output. If you want, you could also share your model. To generate an MPS model from YALMIP, please refer to How do I write an MPS model file from a third-party API?
