Non-polyhedral extensions of the Frank-and-Wolfe theorem

Optimization and Control 2018-05-10 v1

Abstract

In 1956 Marguerite Frank and Paul Wolfe proved that a quadratic function which is bounded below on a polyhedron PP attains its infimum on PP. In this work we search for larger classes of sets FF with this Frank-and-Wolfe property. We establish the existence of non-polyhedral Frank-and-Wolfe sets, obtain internal characterizations by way of asymptotic properties, and investigate stability of the Frank-and-Wolfe class under various operations.
