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...

The paper shows that the global resolution of a general convex quadratic program with complementarity constraints (QPCC), possibly infeasible or unbounded, can be accomplished in finite time. The method constructs a minmax mixed integer formulation by introducing finitely many binary variables,...

We focus in this paper the problem of improving the semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxations for the standard quadratic optimization problem (standard QP in short) that concerns with minimizing a quadratic form over a simplex. We first analyze the duality gap between the standard QP and one of...

In this paper, we study iteration complexities of Mizuno-Todd-Ye predictor-corrector (MTY-PC) algorithms in SDP and symmetric cone programs by way of curvature integrals. The curvature integral is defined along the central path, reflecting the geometric structure of the central path. Integrating...

In a real situation, optimization problems often involve uncertain parameters. Robust optimization is one of distribution-free methodologies based on worst-case analyses for handling such problems. In this paper, we first focus on a special class of uncertain linear programs (LPs). Applying the...

We address the multi-period portfolio optimization problem with the constant rebalancing strategy. This problem is formulated as a polynomial optimization problem (POP) by using a mean-variance criterion. In order to solve the POPs of high degree, we develop a cutting-plane algorithm based on...
