Abstract

We consider the problem of minimizing a continuous function f over a compact set K. We compare the hierarchy of upper bounds proposed by Lasserre [Lasserre JB (2011) A new look at nonnegativity on closed sets and polynomial optimization. SIAM J. Optim. 21(3):864–885] to bounds that may be obtained from simulated annealing. We show that, when f is a polynomial and K a convex body, this comparison yields a faster rate of convergence of the Lasserre hierarchy than what was previously known in the literature.
