The Algebraic Degree of Geometric Optimization Problems
AJ1STRACT In this paper we apply Galois theoretic algebraic methods to certain fundamental geometric optimization problems whose recognition versions are not even known to be in the class NP. In particular we show that the classic Weber problem, the Line-restricted' Weber probe lem and the 3-Dimension version of this problem are in general not solvable by radicals over the field of rationals. O...
متن کاملSums of Squares of Regular Functions on Real Algebraic Varieties
Let V be an affine algebraic variety over R (or any other real closed field R). We ask when it is true that every positive semidefinite (psd) polynomial function on V is a sum of squares (sos). We show that for dimV ≥ 3 the answer is always negative if V has a real point. Also, if V is a smooth non-rational curve all of whose points at infinity are real, the answer is again negative. The same h...
متن کاملPositivity and Optimization for Semi-Algebraic Functions
We describe algebraic certificates of positivity for functions belonging to a finitely generated algebra of Borel measurable functions, with particular emphasis to algebras generated by semi-algebraic functions. In which case the standard global optimization problem with constraints given by elements of the same algebra is reduced via a natural change of variables to the better understood case ...
متن کاملAlgebraic and geometric aspects of rational Γ - inner functions
Abstract The set Γ def = {(z + w, zw) : |z| ≤ 1, |w| ≤ 1} ⊂ C has intriguing complex-geometric properties; it has a 3-parameter group of automorphisms, its distinguished boundary is a ruled surface homeomorphic to the Möbius band and it has a special subvariety which is the only complex geodesic that is invariant under all automorphisms. We exploit this geometry to develop an explicit and detai...
متن کاملAlgebraic and Geometric Ideas in the Theory of Discrete Optimization
This book presents recent advances in the mathematical theory of discrete optimization, particularly those supported by methods from algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, convex and discrete geometry, generating functions, and other tools normally considered outside the standard curriculum in optimization. Algebraic and Geometric Ideas in the Theory of Discrete Optimization • offers BLOCKINs...
