comment Convert a linear difference equation into a controllable state-space model
Hi, I have some questions? * Does this system is a realization of the original input-output model (i.e., they realize the same transfer function)? * Is this system in controllable form? Thanks

comment How to solve mixed integer nonlinear programs?
@thomas: thank you for the hints! I will try to rearrange the problem in order to avoid the product of two decision variables.

comment How to solve mixed integer nonlinear programs?
@thomas: I did not assume my problem is easy to solve (sorry for this misunderstanding). I read MINLP is a hard topic. I would like to know the way to solve this problem. I also read of many solution techniques, but honestly I don't know what to choose. For what concerns my math knowledge, I am a PhD Student in Computer Science, so I (should) know intermediate math. Indeed, I know what convex functions are and how to solve a linear program with the simplex method. For what regards constrained optimization principles...I give up. Now, I'm trying to compute the Hessian but with some trouble.

comment Range scaling with constraints
@André: You're right, another good catch! Unfortunately I cannot say too much about $x_i$ and $n$ in advance.I've just noted that the solution given by Shai fails too :( At this point, I think the best can do is removing the constraint $x_i>a$. Thanks

Beautiful answer! It works like a charm.Thank you very much!

comment Range scaling with constraints
@André: good catch. Indeed, this could be a problem. However, I think that a simple normalization should solve it. That is: $x_i \rightarrow \frac{x_i}{\sum_{i}x_i} \rightarrow \hat{x}_i$. Do you?

@JM: can you be more explicit, that is $\hat{x}_i=\ldots$?

It does not work since in this case $\hat{x}_1 \notin [0.2,0.8]$.
