| May 15, 2014 at 16:53 | comment | added | rnegrinho | I have also seen some work by Morris Eaton and others about the interplay between group-induced majorizations, reflection groups and cone orderings. The theory in itself is quite interesting but, in most cases, doesn't seem to suggest computational ways to tackle the problem, i.e., to optimize over a set defined by means of group-induced majorization. Would you care to comment on this? | |

| May 15, 2014 at 12:38 | comment | added | rnegrinho | Yes, I'm aware that algebraic geometry is finding its way into optimization. I think it is a fairly recent thing. I know that Pablo Parrilo from MIT and Venkat Chandrasekaran from Caltech have been working on using algebraic geometry in optimization. There are a few papers I can point to here, here and here | |
