- Description: This paper presents a canonical dual approach for minimizing a sum of quadratic function and a ratio of nonconvex functions in Rn. By introducing a parameter, the problem is first equivalently reformed as a nonconvex polynomial minimization with elliptic constraint. It is proved that under certain conditions, the canonical dual is a concave maximization problem in R2 that exhibits no duality gap. Therefore, the global optimal solution of the primal problem can be obtained by solving the canonical dual problem. © 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

- Description: This paper studies the canonical duality theory for solving a class of quadri- nomial minimization problems subject to one general quadratic constraint. It is shown that the nonconvex primal problem in Rn can be converted into a concave maximization dual problem over a convex set in R2 , such that the problem can be solved more efficiently. The existence and uniqueness theorems of global minimizers are provided using the triality theory. Examples are given to illustrate the results obtained. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
