Abstract Computable lower and upper bounds on the optimal and dual optimal solutions of a nonlinear, convex separable program are obtained from its piecewise linear approximation. They provide traditional error and sensitivity measures and are shown to be attainable for some problems. In addition, the bounds on the solution can be used to develop an efficient solution approach for such programs, and the dual bounds enable us to determine a subdivision interval which insures the objective… Expand

Successive approximation in separable programming: an improved procedure for convex separable programs
We implement a solution procedure for general convex separable programs where a series of relatively small piecewise linear programs are solved as opposed to a single large one, and where, based onExpand
