Converging Semidefinite Bounds for Global Unconstrained Polynomial Optimization

چکیده
We consider here the problem of minimizing a polynomial function on Rn. The problem is known to be hard even for degree 4. Therefore approximation algorithms are of interest. Lasserre [11] and Parrilo [16] have proposed approximating the minimum of the original problem using a hierarchy of lower bounds obtained via semidefinite programming relaxations. We propose here a method for computing a converging sequence of upper bounds using semidefinite programming based on perturbing the original polynomial. The method is applied to several examples.

Semidefinite Approximations for Global Unconstrained Polynomial Optimization

متن کاملGlobal optimization of rational functions: a semidefinite programming approach
We consider the problem of global minimization of rational functions on IR (unconstrained case), and on an open, connected, semi-algebraic subset of IR, or the (partial) closure of such a set (constrained case). We show that in the univariate case (n = 1), these problems have exact reformulations as semidefinite programming (SDP) problems, by using reformulations introduced in the PhD thesis of...
متن کاملOn the construction of converging hierarchies for polynomial optimization based on certificates of global positivity
Abstract. In recent years, techniques based on convex optimization and real algebra that produce converging hierarchies of lower bounds for polynomial optimization problems (POPs) have gained much popularity. At their heart, these hierarchies rely crucially on Positivstellensätze from the late 20th century (e.g., due to Stengle, Putinar, or Schmüdgen) that certify positivity of a polynomial on ...
متن کاملA semidefinite relaxation scheme for quadratically constrained
Semidefinite optimization relaxations are among the widely used approaches to find global optimal or approximate solutions for many nonconvex problems. Here, we consider a specific quadratically constrained quadratic problem with an additional linear constraint. We prove that under certain conditions the semidefinite relaxation approach enables us to find a global optimal solution of the unde...
متن کاملBounds on entanglement dimensions and quantum graph parameters via noncommutative polynomial optimization
In this paper we study bipartite quantum correlations using techniques from tracial polynomial optimization. We construct a hierarchy of semidefinite programming lower bounds on the minimal entanglement dimension of a bipartite correlation. This hierarchy converges to a new parameter: the minimal average entanglement dimension, which measures the amount of entanglement needed to reproduce a qua...
