maximizing multivariate polynomial

Consider $J = \sum_{i=0}^{N}y_{i-1}x_{i}y_{i+1}$ where $+$ and $-$ in the indices are mod $N+1$. Let $x_{i} = 1 - y_{i} \in \{0,1\}$. What are some of the tools useful and relaxation techniques availa …

Entropy dominance of certain restricted sequenes

Say you have positive $\{a_i\}_{i=1}^n$ and you have $p_i=\frac{a_i}{\sum_{i=1}^na_i}$, then assume you have a $C$ such that $C<2a_n\ll\sum_{i=1}^na_i$ (that is $C$ is not very large), then define $q_ …

Entropy dominance

Let $0<a<b<c$ be distinct positive reals. Define four different probability distributions: $$\mathcal{P}_{ab}:P_{a,ab}=\frac{a}{a+b}=1-P_{b,ab}$$ $$\mathcal{P}_{bc}:P_{b,bc}=\frac{b}{b+c}=1-P_{c,bc} …

$0/1$ programming multiple quadratic constraints

If we have an $n$-variable rank $n$-linear system it is clear we can find whether there exists a $0/1$ solution in polynomial time. If we have an $n$-variable degree $2$ system how many constraints d …

On an optimization question

Suppose we have a square matrix $M=(1-z)A+zB$ where $A,B$ have integer entries from $\{0,1\}$ with $\det(A)+\det(B)=1$ and $\det(A),\det(B),per(A),per(B)\in\{0,1\}$ and we want to find $z\in[0,1]$ tha …

Quasiconvexity property of quasinorms

Schatten $p$ norm is convex when $p\geq1$ holds and if $p\in(0,1)$ it is quasinorm. If $p\in(0,1)$ then is Schatten $p$ norm quasi convex? I am interested in definition of quasi convexity here http …

Matrix completion in $2\times2$ case by nuclear norm minimization to guarantee rank $1$?

Does fixing diagonal entries and minimizing nuclear norm under weighted sum of entries conditions produce a rank $1$ matrix? I think the answer for this is no. At least could it be true in $2\times2$ …
