An error analysis for polynomial optimization over the simplex based on the multivariate hypergeometric distribution

E De Klerk, M Laurent, Z Sun - SIAM Journal on Optimization, 2015 - SIAM
We study the minimization of fixed-degree polynomials over the simplex. This problem is
well-known to be NP-hard, as it contains the maximum stable set problem in graph theory as …
