A note on convexity of two signomial functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this note, we provide correct proofs for showing the convexity of two signomial functions which are frequently used in some recent papers [4, 6, 7, 8, 9] by Tsai et al.. Their arguments contain repeated flaws that motivate our work of this note.

Relative Entropy Relaxations for Signomial Optimization
Signomial programs (SPs) are optimization problems specified in terms of signomials, which are weighted sums of exponentials composed with linear functionals of a decision variable. SPs are non-convex optimization problems in general, and families of NP-hard problems can be reduced to SPs. In this paper we describe a hierarchy of convex relaxations to obtain successively tighter lower bounds of...
متن کاملOn difference sequence spaces defined by Orlicz functions without convexity
In this paper, we first define spaces of single difference sequences defined by a sequence of Orlicz functions without convexity and investigate their properties. Then we extend this idea to spaces of double sequences and present a new matrix theoretic approach construction of such double sequence spaces.
متن کاملConvexity and Geodesic Metric Spaces
In this paper, we first present a preliminary study on metric segments and geodesics in metric spaces. Then we recall the concept of d-convexity of sets and functions in the sense of Menger and study some properties of d-convex sets and d-convex functions as well as extreme points and faces of d-convex sets in normed spaces. Finally we study the continuity of d-convex functions in geodesic metr...
متن کاملCharacterizing Global Minimizers of the Difference of Two Positive Valued Affine Increasing and Co-radiant Functions
Many optimization problems can be reduced to a problem with an increasing and co-radiant objective function by a suitable transformation of variables. Functions, which are increasing and co-radiant, have found many applications in microeconomic analysis. In this paper, the abstract convexity of positive valued affine increasing and co-radiant (ICR) functions are discussed. Moreover, the ...
