function bilinear
% This example formulates and solves the following simple bilinear model:
%  maximize    x
%  subject to  x + y + z <= 10
%              x * y <= 2         (bilinear inequality)
%              x * z + y * z = 1  (bilinear equality)
%              x, y, z non-negative (x integral in second version)
