We consider the problem of finding the minimum of a real-valued multivariate polynomial function constrained in a compact set defined by polynomial inequalities and equalities. This problem, called polynomial optimization problem (POP), is generally nonconvex and has been of growing interest to...

In this paper, we first propose a portfolio management model where the objective is to balance equity and liability. The asset price dynamics includes both permanent and temporary price impact, where the permanent impact is a linear function of the cumulative trading amount and the temporary...

In this paper we provide a generalization of a Positivstellensatz by Pólya [Pólya in Naturforsch Ges Zürich 73:141–145 <CitationRef CitationID="CR18">1928</CitationRef>]. We show that if a homogeneous polynomial is positive over the intersection of the non-negative orthant and a given basic semialgebraic cone (excluding the origin),...</citationref>

It has been observed that the Handelman’s certificate of positivity of a polynomial over a compact polyhedron offers a hierarchical relaxation scheme for polynomial programs. The Handelman hierarchy seems particularly suitable for a class of combinatorial optimizations that are formulated as a...

Several algorithms are available in the literature for finding the entire set of Pareto-optimal solutions of Multiobjective Linear Programmes (MOLPs). However, all of them are based on active-set methods (simplex-like approaches). We present a different method, based on a transformation of any...

We observe that in a simple one-dimensional polynomial optimization problem (POP), the ‘optimal’ values of semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation problems reported by the standard SDP solvers converge to the optimal value of the POP, while the true optimal values of SDP relaxation...
