This work is part of an ongoing effort of comparing non-smooth optimization problems in abs-normal form to MPCCs. We study the general abs-normal NLP with equality and inequality constraints in relation to an equivalent MPCC reformulation.…
We consider an $\ell_0$-minimization problem where $f(x) + \gamma \|x\|_0$ is minimized over a polyhedral set and the $\ell_0$-norm regularizer implicitly emphasizes sparsity of the solution. Such a setting captures a range of problems in…
We consider a special class of nonconvex semidefinite programming problems and show that every point satisfying the Karush--Kuhn--Tucker (KKT) conditions is globally optimal despite nonconvexity. This property is related to pseudoconvex…
