Convex underestimators of a polynomial on a box. Given a non convex polynomial <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$${f\in \mathbb{R}[{\rm x}]}$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> and a box <InlineEquation ID="IEq2"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$${{\rm B}\subset \mathbb{R}^n}$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation>, we construct a sequence of convex polynomials <InlineEquation ID="IEq3"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$${(f_{dk})\subset \mathbb{R}[{\rm x}]}$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation>, which converges in a strong sense to the...</equationsource></inlineequation></equationsource></inlineequation></equationsource></inlineequation>

We provide motivations for the correlated equilibrium solution concept from the game-theoretic and optimization perspectives. We then propose an algorithm that computes <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$${\varepsilon}$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> -correlated equilibria with global-optimal (i.e., maximum) expected social welfare for normal form...</equationsource></inlineequation>

A small polygon is a convex polygon of unit diameter. We are interested in small polygons which have the largest area for a given number of vertices n. Many instances are already solved in the literature, namely for all odd n, and for n = 4, 6 and 8. Thus, for even n ≥ 10, instances of this...

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...

In this paper, we propose a new deterministic global optimization method for solving nonlinear optimal control problems in which the constraint conditions of differential equations and the performance index are expressed as polynomials of the state and control functions. The nonlinear optimal...
