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.
