I am trying to use NMaximize to find the maximum value of a variable that satisfies the given constraints. Since the constraints aren't straightforward, I am using the function.



I can see the constraints are such that the value is bounded but I get the below warning messages:




NMaximize::cvmit: Failed to converge to the requested accuracy or
precision within 100000 iterations.



NMaximize::cvdiv: Failed to
converge to a solution. The function may be unbounded.




The constraint and the way I am using the function is as below:



 constraint = (x | y) [Element] 
Integers && ((x == 0 && 1. <= y <= 12720.) || (1. <= x <= 10712. &&
0 <= y <
2.08565*10^-36 (3.04959*10^39 + 2.24751*10^34 x) +

maxX =
NMaximize[x, constraint, x, y, MaxIterations -> 100000]


I have increased the MaxIterations from 100 to 100000 but it doesn't seem to converge. I am not sure if increasing the MaxIterations is the solution. Can you please guide me with this?

Rationalize the constraint:



constraint2 = ((x == 0 && 1. <= y <= 12720.) || (1. <= x <= 10712. && 
0 <= y < 2.08565*10^-36 (3.04959*10^39 + 2.24751*10^34 x) +
2.8484*10^-1 Sqrt[
4.98614*10^8 + 4.65469*10^4 x - 3.63201 x^2]) || (10713. <= x <=
19762. &&
2.08565*10^-36 (3.04959*10^39 + 2.24751*10^34 x) -
2.8484*10^-1 Sqrt[4.98614*10^8 + 4.65469*10^4 x - 3.63201 x^2] < y <
2.08565*10^-36 (3.04959*10^39 + 2.24751*10^34 x) +
2.8484*10^-1 Sqrt[4.98614*10^8 + 4.65469*10^4 x - 3.63201 x^2])) //
Rationalize[#, 0] & // Simplify;


With the Rationalized constraint you can use Maximize:



maxX = Maximize[x, constraint2, x, y]

(* 19762, x -> 19762, y -> 7287 *)

constraint2 /. maxX[[2]]

(* True *)


EDIT: To find maximum y



(maxY = Maximize[y, constraint2, x, y]) // N


enter image description here



To plot the region defined by the constraint:



reg = ImplicitRegion[constraint2, x, y];

Region[reg,
Frame -> True,
FrameLabel -> (Style[#, 12, Bold] & /@ x, y),
Epilog -> Red,
AbsolutePointSize[3],
Point[x, y /. maxX[[2]]],
Point[x, y /. maxY[[2]]]]

    You have numbers spread a wide range of magnitudes for no good reason. This range is probably too wide for machine precision arithmetic. Also telling NMinimize explicitly that this an integer optimization problem seems to help. Try this:



    constraint2 = ((x == 0 && 1. <= y <= 12720.) || (1. <= x <= 10712. && 
    0 <= y <
    2.08565*10^-36 (3.04959*10^39 + 2.24751*10^34 x) +
    2.8484*10^-1 Sqrt[
    4.98614*10^8 + 4.65469*10^4 x - 3.63201 x^2]) || (10713. <=
    x <= 19762. &&
    2.08565*10^-36 (3.04959*10^39 + 2.24751*10^34 x) -
    2.8484*10^-1 Sqrt[
    4.98614*10^8 + 4.65469*10^4 x - 3.63201 x^2] < y <
    2.08565*10^-36 (3.04959*10^39 + 2.24751*10^34 x) +
    2.8484*10^-1 Sqrt[
    4.98614*10^8 + 4.65469*10^4 x - 3.63201 x^2])) // Expand

    maxX = NMaximize[x, constraint2, x, y, Integers,
    MaxIterations -> 10000]



    19762., x -> 19762, y -> 7311




    And with your definition of constraint:



    constraint /. maxX[[2]]



    True

    Rationalize the constraint:



    constraint2 = ((x == 0 && 1. <= y <= 12720.) || (1. <= x <= 10712. && 
    0 <= y < 2.08565*10^-36 (3.04959*10^39 + 2.24751*10^34 x) +
    2.8484*10^-1 Sqrt[
    4.98614*10^8 + 4.65469*10^4 x - 3.63201 x^2]) || (10713. <= x <=
    19762. &&
    2.08565*10^-36 (3.04959*10^39 + 2.24751*10^34 x) -
    2.8484*10^-1 Sqrt[4.98614*10^8 + 4.65469*10^4 x - 3.63201 x^2] < y <
    2.08565*10^-36 (3.04959*10^39 + 2.24751*10^34 x) +
    2.8484*10^-1 Sqrt[4.98614*10^8 + 4.65469*10^4 x - 3.63201 x^2])) //
    Rationalize[#, 0] & // Simplify;


    With the Rationalized constraint you can use Maximize:



    maxX = Maximize[x, constraint2, x, y]

    (* 19762, x -> 19762, y -> 7287 *)

    constraint2 /. maxX[[2]]

    (* True *)


    EDIT: To find maximum y



    (maxY = Maximize[y, constraint2, x, y]) // N


    enter image description here



    To plot the region defined by the constraint:



    reg = ImplicitRegion[constraint2, x, y];

    Region[reg,
    Frame -> True,
    FrameLabel -> (Style[#, 12, Bold] & /@ x, y),
    Epilog -> Red,
    AbsolutePointSize[3],
    Point[x, y /. maxX[[2]]],
    Point[x, y /. maxY[[2]]]]

            You have numbers spread a wide range of magnitudes for no good reason. This range is probably too wide for machine precision arithmetic. Also telling NMinimize explicitly that this an integer optimization problem seems to help. Try this:



            constraint2 = ((x == 0 && 1. <= y <= 12720.) || (1. <= x <= 10712. && 
            0 <= y <
            2.08565*10^-36 (3.04959*10^39 + 2.24751*10^34 x) +
            2.8484*10^-1 Sqrt[
            4.98614*10^8 + 4.65469*10^4 x - 3.63201 x^2]) || (10713. <=
            x <= 19762. &&
            2.08565*10^-36 (3.04959*10^39 + 2.24751*10^34 x) -
            2.8484*10^-1 Sqrt[

            4.98614*10^8 + 4.65469*10^4 x - 3.63201 x^2])) // Expand

            maxX = NMaximize[x, constraint2, x, y, Integers,
            MaxIterations -> 10000]



            19762., x -> 19762, y -> 7311




            And with your definition of constraint:

              @HenrikSchumacher, thank you for this. This works for x but when I try to find the maximum y similarly, I still get the same message - NMaximize[y, res, x, y, Integers, MaxIterations -> 100000]. Output: NMaximize::cvdiv: Failed to converge to a solution. The function may be unbounded.

            But constraint /. x -> 19762 /. y -> 8647 results in False?
