We present our public-domain software for the following tasks in sparse (or toric) elimination theory, given a well-constrained polynomial system. First, C code for computing the mixed volume of the system. Second, Maple code for defining…

This paper is concerned with data-driven optimal control of nonlinear systems. We present a convex formulation to the optimal control problem (OCP) with a discounted cost function. We consider OCP with both positive and negative discount…

This paper studies stochastic optimization problems with polynomials. We propose an optimization model with sample averages and perturbations. The Lasserre type Moment-SOS relaxations are used to solve the sample average optimization.…

We introduce a convex optimization modeling framework that transforms a convex optimization problem expressed in a form natural and convenient for the user into an equivalent cone program in a way that preserves fast linear transforms in…

A geometric nonconvex conic optimization problem (COP) was recently proposed by Kim, Kojima and Toh as a unified framework for convex conic reformulation of a class of quadratic optimization problems and polynomial optimization problems.…

This paper presents a pseudo-spectral method for Dynamic Optimization Problems (DOPs) that allows for tight polynomial bounds to be achieved via flexible sub-intervals. The proposed method not only rigorously enforces inequality…

Orbital-free density functional theory as an extension of traditional Thomas-Fermi theory has attracted a lot of interest in the past decade because of developments in both more accurate kinetic energy functionals and highly efficient…

In this paper, we study a class of fractional semi-infinite polynomial programming (FSIPP) problems, in which the objective is a fraction of a convex polynomial and a concave polynomial, and the constraints consist of infinitely many convex…

We consider an overdetermined problem of Serrin-type with respect to an operator in divergence form with piecewise constant coefficients. We give sufficient condition for unique solvability near radially symmetric configurations by means of…

Operators with fractional perturbations are crucial components for robust preconditioning of interface-coupled multiphysics systems. However, in case the perturbation is strong, standard approaches can fail to provide scalable approximation…

We develop fast spectral algorithms for tensor decomposition that match the robustness guarantees of the best known polynomial-time algorithms for this problem based on the sum-of-squares (SOS) semidefinite programming hierarchy. Our…

When sum-of-squares (SOS) programs are recast as semidefinite programs (SDPs) using the standard monomial basis, the constraint matrices in the SDP possess a structural property that we call \emph{partial orthogonality}. In this paper, we…

We demonstrate applications of algebraic techniques that optimize and certify polynomial inequalities to problems of interest in the operations research and transportation engineering communities. Three problems are considered: (i) wireless…

In this paper, we propose and analyze high order efficient schemes for the time fractional Allen-Cahn equation. The proposed schemes are based on the L1 discretization for the time fractional derivative and the extended scalar auxiliary…

We devise a scheme for solving an iterative sequence of linear programs (LPs) or second order cone programs (SOCPs) to approximate the optimal value of any semidefinite program (SDP) or sum of squares (SOS) program. The first LP and…

This paper discusses how to find the global minimum of functions that are summations of small polynomials (``small'' means involving a small number of variables). Some sparse sum of squares (SOS) techniques are proposed. We compare their…

Polynomial optimization encompasses a broad class of problems in which both the objective function and constraints are polynomial functions of the decision variables. In recent years, a substantial body of research has focused on…

We propose to approximate a (possibly discontinuous) multivariate function f (x) on a compact set by the partial minimizer arg miny p(x, y) of an appropriate polynomial p whose construction can be cast in a univariate sum of squares (SOS)…

The main objective of this paper is to present an efficient structure-preserving scheme, which is based on the idea of the scalar auxiliary variable approach, for solving the space fractional nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation. First, we…

In this paper we consider stochastic weakly convex composite problems, however without the existence of a stochastic subgradient oracle. We present a derivative free algorithm that uses a two point approximation for computing a gradient…
