Many cutting planes in MINLP heavily rely on the bound of the variables. In this talk, we consider the possibility of generating a cutting plane from a reduced domain while still ensuring the validity of them. We formalize this idea using the separation problem and the reverse polar. Relying on the concept of visible points, we provide a simple procedure to shrink the domain of the variables when constructing cutting planes for quadratic constraints.
