It is known that convex programming problems with separable inequality constraints do not have duality gaps. However, strong duality may fail for these programs because the dual programs may not attain their maximum. In this paper, we establish conditions characterizing strong duality for convex...

In this paper we present necessary conditions for global optimality for polynomial problems with box or bivalent constraints using separable polynomial relaxations. We achieve this by first deriving a numerically checkable characterization of global optimality for separable polynomial problems...

In this paper we examine non-convex quadratic optimization problems over a quadratic constraint under unknown but bounded interval perturbation of problem data in the constraint and develop criteria for characterizing robust (i.e. uncertainty-immunized) global solutions of classes of non-convex...
