Abstract An algorithm for solving nonlinear programming problems containing integer, discrete and continuous variables is presented. Based on a commonly employed optimization algorithm, penalties on integer and/or discrete violations are imposed on the objective function to force the search to converge onto standard values. Examples are included to illustrate the practical use of this algorithm.
