Hi Nicolas,

You might try providing an initial feasible solution to the solver.
This should help for nonconvex problems, like the one you pose.

Something like...

var x0 integer >= 1 <= 10, := 1;
var y0 integer >= 1 <= 10, := 1;
var x1 >= 1 <= 10, := 5;
var y1 >= 1 <= 10, := 5;
var x2 >= 1 <= 10, := 7;
var y2 >= 1 <= 10, := 1;

And don't forget about FilMINT, which is freely available via NEOS.
