  • Publication number: 20240012366
    Abstract: A device for controlling an operation of a system performing a task determines a current control input based on the feedback signal by solving a polynomial optimization of a polynomial function with a reformulation derived by introducing additional variables reducing the degree of the polynomial function till a target degree subject to constraints on a structure of the additional variables. The device solves a mixed-integer optimization problem to find a subset of encodings among all possible encodings of factorizations of the polynomial function that reduce the degree of the polynomial function to the target degree with a predetermined minimum number of additional variables and selects an optimal encoding from the subset of encodings with an optimal relaxation bound.
