Abstract

A method is presented for the construction of test problems involving the minimization over convex sets of sums of ratios of affine functions. Given a nonempty, compact convex set, the method determines a function that is the sum of linear fractional functions and attains a global minimum over the set at a point that can be found by convex programming and univariate search. Generally, the function will have also local minima over the set that are not global minima.
