Abstract

We consider a polynomial programming problem P on a compact basic semi-algebraic set K⊂ℝn, described by m polynomial inequalities gj(X)≥0, and with criterion f∈ℝ[X]. We propose a hierarchy of semidefinite relaxations that take sparsity of the original data into account, in the spirit of those of Waki et al. [7]. The novelty with respect to [7] is that we prove convergence to the global optimum of P when the sparsity pattern satisfies a condition often encountered in large size problems of practical applications, and known as the running intersection property in graph theory.
