Abstract

We consider a global optimization problem of minimizinga linear function subject to p linear multiplicative constraintsas well as ordinary linear constraints. We show that this problem can reduce to a 2p-dimensional reverse convex program,and present an algorithm for solving the resulting problem.Our algorithm converges to a globally optimal solution and yieldsan ε-approximate solution in finite timefor any ε 0. We also report some results of computational experiment.
