We introduce a sublevel Moment-SOS hierarchy where each SDP relaxation can be viewed as an intermediate (or interpolation) between the d-th and (d+1)-th order SDP relaxations of the Moment-SOS hierarchy (dense or sparse version). With the…

We study an optimization problem in which the objective is given as a sum of logarithmic-polynomial functions. This formulation is motivated by statistical estimation principles such as maximum likelihood estimation, and by loss functions…
