We study character varieties arising as moduli of representations of an orientable surface group into a reductive group $G$. We first show that if $G/Z$ acts freely on the representation variety, then both the representation variety and the…

Geometric programming (GP) is a well-known optimization tool for dealing with a wide range of nonlinear optimization and engineering problems. In general, it is assumed that the parameters of a GP problem are deterministic and accurate.…
