AC-OPF (Alternative Current Optimal Power Flow)aims at minimizing the operating costs of a power gridunder physical constraints on voltages and power injections.Its mathematical formulation results in a nonconvex polynomial…

Optimal power flow (OPF) problems are non-convex and large-scale optimization problems with important applications in power networks. This paper proposes the scheduled-asynchronous algorithm to solve a distributed semidefinite programming…

Optimization problems with norm-bounding constraints arise in a variety of applications, including portfolio optimization, machine learning, and feature selection. A common approach to these problems involves relaxing the norm constraint…

In this paper, we develop a parameterized proximal point algorithm (P-PPA) for solving a class of separable convex programming problems subject to linear and convex constraints. The proposed algorithm is provable to be globally convergent…

This paper proposes a general fixture layout design framework that directly integrates the system equation with the convex relaxation method. Note that the optimal fixture design problem is a large-scale combinatorial optimization problem,…

A semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation globally solves many optimal power flow (OPF) problems. For other OPF problems where the SDP relaxation only provides a lower bound on the objective value rather than the globally optimal decision…

Estimating unknown rotations from noisy measurements is an important step in SfM and other 3D vision tasks. Typically, local optimization methods susceptible to returning suboptimal local minima are used to solve the rotation averaging…

We consider polynomial optimization problems (POP) on a semialgebraic set contained in the nonnegative orthant (every POP on a compact set can be put in this format by a simple translation of the origin). Such a POP can be converted to an…

Optimal power flow (OPF) is an important problem for power generation and it is in general non-convex. With the employment of renewable energy, it will be desirable if OPF can be solved very efficiently so its solution can be used in real…

The alternating current optimal power flow (ACOPF) problem is central to modern power system operations, determining how electricity is generated and transmitted to maximize social welfare while respecting physical and operational…

We consider a class of optimal power flow (OPF) applications where some loads offer a modulation service in exchange for an activation fee. These applications can be modeled as multi-period formulations of the OPF with discrete variables…

We show that contact-rich motion planning is also sparsity-rich when viewed as polynomial optimization (POP). We can exploit not only the correlative and term sparsity patterns that are general to all POPs, but also specialized sparsity…

The problem of low-rank approximation with convex constraints, which appears in data analysis, system identification, model order reduction, low-order controller design and low-complexity modelling is considered. Given a matrix, the…

The pooling problem is a classical NP-hard problem in the chemical process and petroleum industries. This problem is modeled as a nonlinear, nonconvex network flow problem in which raw materials with different specifications are blended in…

We present a new approach for computing approximate global minimizers to a large class of non-local pairwise interaction problems defined over probability distributions. The approach predicts candidate global minimizers, with a recovery…

A new approach to solving a large class of factorable nonlinear programming (NLP) problems to global optimality is presented in this paper. Unlike the traditional strategy of partitioning the decision-variable space employed in many…

Finding the sparsest solutions to a tensor complementarity problem is generally NP-hard due to the nonconvexity and noncontinuity of the involved $\ell_0$ norm. In this paper, a special type of tensor complementarity problems with…

This paper studies the hierarchy of sparse matrix Moment-SOS relaxations for solving sparse polynomial optimization problems with matrix constraints. First, we prove a sufficient and necessary condition for the sparse hierarchy to be tight.…

This paper deals with optimal transmission switching (OTS) problems involving discrete binary decisions about network topology and non-convex power flow constraints. We adopt a semidefinite programming formulation for the OPF problem which,…
