When are quadratic integer programs "easy to solve"?

Let $N_i=\{0,1,\dots,\bar{n}_i\}$ and define $N=N_1\times \dots \times N_I$. I want to maximize $f$ on $N$. $f$ has the following form $$ f(n) = \sum_i A_i n_i -\sum_i \sum_{j\neq i} B_{ij} (n_i-n_j)^...

Finding the maximum of a multivariate polynomial of degree one

I need to find the global maximum of the function \begin{align} f\left(x\right) & = p_1 \max\left(\sum a_{1i} x_{1i}, \sum b_{1i} x_{1i}\right) - \sum c_{1i} x_{1i} \\ &+\ldots \\ &+ p_n ...
