GAMS solvers for MINLP

Hello there,
I am solving MINLP problem, and I used the following solvers:
*Option MINLP = BONMIN;
*option MINLP = BARON;
*option MINLP = LINDOGLOBAL;
Each solver is giving me different answer and I am getting local optimal solution instead of the global solution !!!

so I am wondering is there any good solver to solve MINLP models ?? by the way, I used the GLOBAL solver in LINGO and it works perfectly and I am getting global optimal solution all the time but it takes too much time to get the answers !!!

Hey there,

If u have proper license file, BARON should work well. But to be honest, I do not rely much on MINLP; solutions may be deceiving. Instead why don’t u try to do some math tricks to convert your MINLP problem into MILP?
