POEMA project: Approximation hierarchies for (non-)commutative polynomial optimization.
Future Results:
- Convergence analysis of the approximation hierarchies;
- Genericity of finite convergence and optimality certificates;
- Exploring techniques (like sparsity and using appropriate polynomial bases) to make the computation of the non-commutative hierarchies more efficient.
Planned secondments. a Research stay at CNRS-LAAS in Toulouse, France (Didier Henrion) and with the Numerical Algorithms Group (NAG), Oxford, UK (Mike Dewar).
Supervisors: Monique Laurent, NWO-I/CWI, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
