/* This example considers the following separable, convex problem:
minimize f(x) - y + g(z)
subject to x + 2 y + 3 z <= 4
x + y >= 1
x, y, z <= 1
where f(u) = exp(-u) and g(u) = 2 u^2 - 4 u, for all real u. It
formulates and solves a simpler LP model by approximating f and
g with piecewise-linear functions. Then it transforms the model
into a MIP by negating the approximation for f, which corresponds
to a non-convex piecewise-linear function, and solves it again.
