Optimization of posynomials under l^p constraints
 
 
Description:  We will consider the problem to maximize a positive linear combination of monomials involving (possibly fractional or irrational) positive powers of n variables over the intersection of the l^p sphere with the positive orthant. After recapitulating seminal works from the 1960s until very recent, the talk aims at streamlining methods and principles, addressing complexity and discussing convergence issues of several different optimization procedures. Time permitting, some applications for combinatorial optimization are also addressed.
