Sparse SOS Relaxations for Minimizing Functions that are Summations of Small Polynomials
This paper discusses how to find the global minimum of functions that are summations of small polynomials ("small" means involving a small number of variables). Some spa...

Asymptotic Behavior of Linear Approximations of Pseudo-Boolean Functions
We study the problem of approximating pseudoBoolean functions by linear pseudo-Boolean functions. Pseudo-Boolean functions generalize ordinary Boolean functions by allowing the fu...
