Abstract

This paper presents a canonical duality theory for solving general nonconvex/discrete constrained minimization problems. By using the canonical dual transformation, these challenging problems can be reformulated as a unified canonical dual problem (i.e., with zero duality gap) in continuous space, which can be solved easily to obtain global optimal solution. Some basic concepts and general theory in canonical systems are reviewed. Applications to Boolean least squares problems are illustrated.
