Optimization over Multi-order Cones
Abstract
In this paper we propose multi-order cone programs (MOCPs) as a new class of convex nonlinear optimization problems that includes linear programs, (convex) quadratic programs second-order cone programs and, more generally, pth-order cone programs as special cases. In MOCPs we minimize a linear objective function over the intersection of an affine set and a product of multi-order cones. We refer to them as deterministic multi-order cone programs (DMCOPs) since data defining them are deterministic. We present the definition of DMOCPs in primal and dual standard forms. Then we introduce two-stage stochastic multi-order cone programs (SMOCPs) (with recourse) to handle uncertainty in data defining DMOCPs and deterministic mixed integer multi-order cone programs (DMIMOCPs) to handle DMOCPs with integer-valued variables. We describe an applicational setting and present DMOCP, SMOCP and DMIMOCP models arising in that setting.
