In my model, I have a variable "p" which has an upper bound pmax := 2.5 and a
lower bound pmin := -2.5.
I would simply like to add a binary variable "sign" which takes the values :
1 if variable p is positive
0 if variable p is negative (or vice-versa)
A solution is the convex hull of two line segments in (sign, x)-space:
(0, -2.5) (0, 0) and
(1, 0) (1, 2.5)
This is 2-dimensional and the parallelogram is easily drawn.
Two of the sides are 0<=sgn<=1 .
The other two are -2.5 <= p - 2.5*sign <= 2.5 .
No need to play games with the objective function.
