Adding the sum of absolute values must be equal to 1 as a Constr with a linear solver












1












$begingroup$


I have a big problem with Constr.



i was:



$$min sum sigma_{x_i}$$
$$s.t sum x_i = 1, where space space0<= x_i<=1$$



and now I need that problem to be:



$$min sum sigma_{x_i}$$
$$s.t sum |x_i| = 1, where -1<= x_i<=1$$



how to transform that absolute value constraint in a linear constraint?
