Dear All,

It is a nonlinear MIP model with continuous, binary and integer variables. When I try to solve it with couenne it says that it is infeasible. But I have already found an initial solution by hand that suits model. I am attaching this hand-made initial solution.

I just made a search through the net and found out that Couenne gave "infeasible solution" for other people's models when there are binary variables. I changed my binary variables to continious variables, and couenne works! But ofcourse the result is meaningless. Would you please help me to solve the model with my binar variables?

I am attaching the model and data in AMPL format. Below you can see the result page, when I run the model with binary variables. Thank you!
