If the objective function is of the form:
sum{i in I} x[i]*x[i]
then you might be able to use a piece-wise linear formulation to approximate a
quadratic objective function.
For example (assuming the "x" above is non-negative)
#
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Parabolic deviation parameters
#
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
param NUM_PIECEWISE_LINEAR_BREAKPOINTS default 20;
param PIECEWISE_LINEAR_GAP_SIZE default 2;
set DEV_SECTIONS := 1..NUM_PIECEWISE_LINEAR_BREAKPOINTS;
var x{ i in I, s in DEV_SECTIONS }, >= 0.0, <= if s <
NUM_PIECEWISE_LINEAR_BREAKPOINTS then PIECEWISE_LINEAR_GAP_SIZE else BIG_NUMBER;
For constraints, wherever you would have "x[i]" replace it with
sum{ i in I, s in DEV_SECTIONS } x[ i, s ]
For the objective, use:
sum{ i in I, s in DEV_SECTIONS } x[ i, s ]*s
If your "x" is a free variable, then it gets a bit more complicated in that you
would need two sets of variables:
var xp{ i in I, s in DEV_SECTIONS }, >= 0.0, <= if s <
NUM_PIECEWISE_LINEAR_BREAKPOINTS then PIECEWISE_LINEAR_GAP_SIZE else BIG_NUMBER;
var xn{ i in I, s in DEV_SECTIONS }, >= 0.0, <= if s <
NUM_PIECEWISE_LINEAR_BREAKPOINTS then PIECEWISE_LINEAR_GAP_SIZE else BIG_NUMBER;
and the constraints would need to replace x[i] with
sum{ i in I, s in DEV_SECTIONS } (xp[ i, s ]-xn[i, s])
and the objective would be
sum{ i in I, s in DEV_SECTIONS } (xp[ i, s ]+xn[i, s])*s

No, glpk does not support solving non-linear problems.
