Our aim so far has been to formulate a real-life decision problem as a (mixed integer) linear optimization problem. The reason was clear: Linear functions are simple, so problems formulated with them should also be simple. However, two questions arise. First, is the world of linear functions flexible enough to model all real-life problems? Second, are MILOs the only simple problems we can solve quickly?
