Hi Khris:
A general approach to reduce the size of the system is to select a subset
of the binary variables and set each of them to a constant. This reduces
the size of the system for the solver. Trying all combinations of the
chosen variables and choosing the best yields the solution of the original
problem.
How many variables has the original and the transformed system?
Can you send the original quadratic system? If it is too large, put it on
the web and send a link to it.
Petr.
