This tutorial summarizes recent advances in the convex relaxation of the optimal power flow (OPF) problem, focusing on structural properties rather than algorithms. Part I presents two power flow models, formulates OPF and their relaxations…

This paper is concerned with configurations of two-material thermal conductors that minimize the Dirichlet energy for steady-state diffusion equations with nonlinear boundary conditions described mainly by maximal monotone operators. To…

In this paper, we give a geometric interpretation of optimal functionals in the context of intersection of symmetry planes and cyclic polytopes. For 1D CFTs, we demonstrate that at given derivative order, the functional is given by a…

We present some relaxation and integral representation results for energy functionals in the setting of structured deformations, with special emphasis given to the case of multi-level structured deformations. In particular, we present an…

Can there be a `Litmus test' for determining the nature of transition in models of percolation? In this paper we argue that the answer is in the affirmative. All one needs to do is to measure the `growth exponent' $\chi$ of the largest…

We consider the optimization problem of minimizing $\int_{\Omega}|\nabla u|^{p(x)}+ \lambda \chi_{\{u>0\}} dx$ in the class of functions $W^{1,p(\cdot)}(\Omega)$ with $u-\phi_0\in W_0^{1,p(\cdot)}(\Omega)$, for a given $\phi_0\geq 0$ and…

In this paper, we focus on the following general shape optimization problem: $$ \min\{J(\Om), \Om convex, \Om\in\mathcal S_{ad}\}, $$ where $\mathcal S_{ad}$ is a set of 2-dimensional admissible shapes and $J:\mathcal{S}_{ad}\to\R$ is a…

The control of relaxation-type systems of ordinary differential equations is investigated using the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation. First, we recast the model as a singularly perturbed dynamics which we embed in a family of controlled…

In the setting of a metric space equipped with a doubling measure supporting a $(1,1)$-Poincar\'e inequality, we study the problem of minimizing the BV-energy in a bounded domain $\Omega$ of functions bounded between two obstacle functions…

We introduce two min-max problems: the first problem is to minimize the supremum of finitely many rational functions over a compact basic semi-algebraic set whereas the second problem is a 2-player zero-sum polynomial game in randomized…

In this paper we study an optimal shape design problem for the first eigenvalue of the fractional $p-$laplacian with mixed boundary conditions. The optimization variable is the set where the Dirichlet condition is imposed (that is…

We derive universal lower and upper bounds for max-min and min-max problems (also known as polarization) for the potential of spherical $(k,k)$-designs and provide certain examples, including unit-norm tight frames, that attain these…

We consider the multilinear polytope defined as the convex hull of the feasible region of a linearized binary polynomial optimization problem. We define a relaxation in an extended space for this polytope, which we refer to as the complete…

In this article we study optimization problems ruled by $\alpha$-fractional diffusion operators with volume constraints. By means of penalization techniques we prove existence of solutions. We also show that every solution is locally of…

Under suitable growth and coercivity conditions on the nonlinear damping operator $g$ which ensure non-resonance, we estimate the ultimate bound of the energy of the general solution to the equation $\ddot{u}(t) + Au(t) +…

The dynamical formulation of optimal transport, also known as Benamou-Brenier formulation or Computational Fluid Dynamics formulation, amounts to write the optimal transport problem as the optimization of a convex functional under a PDE…

In this paper we discuss optimality conditions for abstract optimization problems over complex spaces. We then apply these results to optimal control problems with a semigroup structure. As an application we detail the case when the state…

This paper proposes a bilevel hierarchy of strengthened complex moment relaxations for complex polynomial optimization. The key trick entails considering a class of positive semidefinite conditions that arise naturally in characterizing the…

We study the minimization of the cost functional \[ F(\mu) = \lVert u - u_d \rVert_{L^p(\Omega)} + \alpha \lVert \mu \rVert_{\mathcal{M}(\Omega)}, \] where the controls $\mu$ are taken in the space of finite Borel measures and $u \in…

We establish that the Dirichlet problem for convex linear growth functionals on $BD$, the functions of bounded deformation, gives rise to the same unconditional Sobolev and partial $C^{1,\alpha}$-regularity theory as presently available for…
