We study MINLO (mixed-integer nonlinear optimization) formulations of the disjunction $x\in\{0\}\cup[\ell,u]$, where $z$ is a binary indicator of $x\in[\ell,u]$ ($0 \leq \ell <u$), and $y$ "captures" $f(x)$, which is assumed to be convex…

Enlightened by Lemma 1.7 in \cite{LiangLuo2021}, we prove a similar lemma which is based upon oscillatory integrals and Langer's turning point theory. From it we show that the Schr{\"o}dinger equation $${\rm i}\partial_t u = -\partial_x^2…
