Instance ball_mk4_05
A simple MINLP with a feasible set described by a ball. The basic model over which these variations are made is: min sum_i=1^n x_i s.t. sum_i=1^n (x_i - 0.5)^2 <= (n-1)/4 x integer between -1 and 1. Obvisouly, this problem is infeasible and has no solution. It can be shown that any outer-approximation based method will need 2^n linear inequalities to show infeasibility, see reference. In this instance, the ball is an empty ellipse and the quadratic form is not diagonal.
