Concert Technology offers predefined functions that return an expression from an algebraic function over expressions. These predefined functions also return a numeric value from an algebraic function over numeric values as well.

IloPower returns the result of raising its base argument to the power of its exponent argument, that is, base**exponent. If base is a floating-point value or variable, then exponent must be greater than or equal to 0 (zero).

What Is Extracted

An instance of IloCplex can extract only quadratic terms that are positive semi-definite when they appear in an objective function or in constraints of a model.

An instance of IloSolver or an instance of IloCP extracts the object returned by IloPower.
