Signomial and polynomial optimization via relative entropy and partial dualization

Riley Murray, Venkat Chandrasekaran, Adam Wierman

We describe a generalization of the Sums-of-AM/GM-Exponential (SAGE) methodology for relative entropy relaxations of constrained signomial and polynomial optimization problems. Our approach leverages the fact that SAGE certificates conveniently and transparently blend with convex duality, in a way which enables partial dualization of certain structured constraints. This more general approach retains key properties of ordinary SAGE relaxations (e.g. sparsity preservation), and inspires a projective method of solution recovery which respects partial dualization. We illustrate the utility of our methodology with a range of examples from the global optimization literature, along with a publicly available software package.
