Handling an infinite number of inequality constraints in infinite-dimensional spaces occurs in many fields, from global optimization to optimal transport. These problems have been tackled individually in several previous articles through…
Given a compact parameter set $Y\subset R^p$, we consider polynomial optimization problems $(P_y$) on $R^n$ whose description depends on the parameter $y\inY$. We assume that one can compute all moments of some probability measure $\phi$ on…
The problem of minimizing a polynomial over a set of polynomial inequalities is an NP-hard non-convex problem. Thanks to powerful results from real algebraic geometry, one can convert this problem into a nested sequence of…
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…
We introduce a new framework for unifying and systematizing the performance analysis of first-order black-box optimization algorithms for unconstrained convex minimization. The low-cost iteration complexity enjoyed by first-order algorithms…
In this paper, we concentrate on a particular category of quadratically constrained quadratic programming (QCQP): nonconvex QCQP with one equality constraint. This type of QCQP problem optimizes a quadratic objective under a fixed…
In this paper, we study a class of fractional semi-infinite polynomial programming problems involving s.o.s-convex polynomial functions. For such a problem, by a conic reformulation proposed in our previous work and the quadratic modules…
We present a novel, general, and unifying point of view on sparse approaches to polynomial optimization. Solving polynomial optimization problems to global optimality is a ubiquitous challenge in many areas of science and engineering.…
This paper proposes a novel combination of constraint encoding methods for the Quantum Approximate Optimization Ansatz (QAOA). Real-world optimization problems typically consist of multiple types of constraints. To solve these optimization…
In theory, hierarchies of semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxations based on sum of squares (SOS) polynomials have been shown to provide arbitrarily close approximations for a general polynomial optimization problem (POP). However, due to…
The Mean-Variance-Skewness-Kurtosis (MVSK) portfolio optimization model is a quartic nonconvex polynomial minimization problem over a polytope, which can be formulated as a Difference-of-Convex (DC) program. In this manuscript, we…
We develop a general framework to significantly reduce the degree of sum-of-squares proofs by introducing new variables. To illustrate the power of this framework, we use it to speed up previous algorithms based on sum-of-squares for two…
The Sum-of-Squares (SOS) approximation method is a technique used in optimization problems to derive lower bounds on the optimal value of an objective function. By representing the objective function as a sum of squares in a feature space,…
We investigate the problem of representing moment sequences by measures in the context ofPolynomial Optimization Problems, that consist in finding the infimum of a real polynomial ona real semialgebraic set defined by polynomial…
In this paper, we study the global optimality of polynomial portfolio optimization (PPO). The PPO is a kind of portfolio selection model with high-order moments and flexible risk preference parameters. We introduce a perturbation sample…
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…
Convex relaxation methods are powerful tools for studying the lowest energy of many-body problems. By relaxing the representability conditions for marginals to a set of local constraints, along with a global semidefinite constraint, a…
The design of minimum-compliance bending-resistant structures with continuous cross-section parameters is a challenging task because of its inherent non-convexity. Our contribution develops a strategy that facilitates computing all…
In this paper, we introduce three QUBO (Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization) relaxations for the sparsest $k$-subgraph (SkS) problem: a quadratic penalty relaxation, a Lagrangian relaxation, and an augmented Lagrangian relaxation.…
We consider a large family of problems in which an ordering (or, more precisely, a chain of subsets) of a finite set must be chosen to minimize some weighted sum of costs. This family includes variations of Min Sum Set Cover (MSSC), several…
