In this paper we study bipartite quantum correlations using techniques from tracial noncommutative polynomial optimization. We construct a hierarchy of semidefinite programming lower bounds on the minimal entanglement dimension of a bipartite correlation. This hierarchy converges to a new parameter: the minimal average entanglement dimension, which measures the amount of entanglement needed to reproduce a quantum correlation when access to shared randomness is free. For synchronous correlations, we show a correspondence between the minimal entanglement dimension and the completely positive semidefinite rank of an associated matrix. We then study optimization over the set of synchronous correlations by investigating quantum graph parameters. We unify existing bounds on the quantum chromatic number and the quantum stability number by placing them in the framework of tracial optimization. In particular, we show that the projective packing number, the projective rank, and the tracial rank arise naturally when considering tracial analogues of the Lasserre hierarchy for the stability and chromatic number of a graph. We also introduce semidefinite programming hierarchies converging to the commuting quantum chromatic number and commuting quantum stability number., Comment: 26 pages

We investigate the asymptotic properties of the trajectories generated by a second-order dynamical system with Hessian driven damping and a Tikhonov regularization term in connection with the minimization of a smooth convex function in Hilbert spaces. We obtain fast convergence results for the function values along the trajectories. The Tikhonov regularization term enables the derivation of strong convergence results of the trajectory to the minimizer of the objective function of minimum norm.

This paper provides some new characterizations of the solution sets for non-differentiable generalized convex fuzzy optimization problem. Firstly, we introduce some new generalized convex fuzzy functions and discuss the relationships among them. Secondly, some properties of these new generalized convex fuzzy functions are given. Finally, as applications, some characterizations of the solution sets for non-differentiable generalized convex fuzzy optimization problem are obtained.

We give an upper bound in O(d ^((n+1)/2)) for the number of critical points of a normal random polynomial with degree d and at most n variables. Using the large deviation principle for the spectral value of large random matrices we obtain the bound O(exp(-beta n^2 + (n/2) log (d-1))) (beta is a positive constant independent on n and d) for the number of minima of such a polynomial. This proves that most normal random polynomials of fixed degree have only saddle points. Finally, we give a closed form expression for the number of maxima (resp. minima) of a random univariate polynomial, in terms of hypergeometric functions., 22 pages. We learned since the first version that the probability that a matrix in GOE(n) is positive definite is known. This follows from the theory of large deviations (reference in the paper). Therefore, we can now state a precise upper bound (Theorem 2) for the number of minima of a random polynomial, instead of a bound depending on that probability
