Consider the following cone:



$$mathbbG_n=Bigg,(xoplusthetaopluskappa) inmathbbR^noplusmathbbR_+oplusmathbbR_+,colon thetasum_iin [n]expbigg(frac-x_ithetabigg)leqkappa Bigg.$$



Where $0exp(fracalpha0)=0$ for each $alphainmathbbR$.



I am trying to calculate the dual of $mathbbG_n$. A similar result is presented in https://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-00006861/document Sec 6.3 and my attempt is to adapt it to my case. However, I found the following problems:



1- While considering the case where $theta=0$, we still have that $(x,0,kappa)inmathbbG_n$ for each $(x,kappa)inmathbbR^noplusmathbbR_+$. Because $x$ is not necessairly nonnegative, I couldn't obtain any corresponding sign constraints on $x^ast$ and $kappa^ast$ (besides $x^ast=0$ and $kappa^astgeq0$).



2- While minimizing a single term of the summation, I would obtain that $t_i=−log(frackappa^ast)$ because there is no $log$ for negative numbers, is this right?



3- Why is the minimum equal to zero when $kappa^ast=0$?



4- The two final cases colapse and then we obtain that the minimum is $−x_i^astlog(fracx_i^astkappa^ast)$ either way?



5- Finally, we conclude that $x^astin$?, $kappa^astin$? and $theta^astgeqsum_i x_i^astlog(fracx_i^astkappa^ast)−x_i^ast$. Right?



Can anyone help me to fix these?

    It is a cartesian product of vector spaces that carries their structure. More formally, if $V$ and $W$ are Euclidean spaces we define the direct sum of $V$ and $W$ as the vector space $Voplus W=voplus w,colon vin Vtext and win W$ where we consider, for each $v_1oplus w_1, v_2oplus w_2in Voplus W$ and $alphainmathbbR$, $v_1oplus w_1 + v_2oplus w_2= (v_1+_Vv_2)oplus (w_1+_Ww_2) $ and $alpha(v_1oplus w_2)=alpha v_1oplusalpha w_1.$ Also, we consider $langle v_1oplus w_1,v_2oplus w_2rangle=langle v_1,v_2rangle_V +langle w_1,w_2rangle_W$.

  • How do you interpret the constraining equation when $theta = 0$? I am assuming that by cone you mean that $t x in C$ for all $t ge 0, x in C$.

  • @copper.hat, thanks for pointing this out, I will edit my question to make it clearer. And you are right about the definition of a cone (indeed your definition is for closed cones but it is the case).
