Abstract

We present a new method for minimizing the sum of a convex function and aproduct of k nonnegative convex functions over a convex set. This problem isreduced to a k-dimensional quasiconcave minimization problem which is solvedby a conical branch-and-bound algorithm. Comparative computational results areprovided on test problems from the literature.
