“…This paper is devoted to the foundations of semialgebraic gene-environment networks, i.e., to bases of the future development of algorithmic methods to assess those networks and to real-work applications. Already today we may mention that the following refined classes of techniques can be naturally suggested for our new class of networks under uncertainty, for their identification, optimization and extension: (i) Tchebychev Approximation [53], (ii) Semi-Infinite Optimization [29], (iii) Generalized Semi-Infinite Optimization [48,49,56], (iv) Bi-level and Multilevel Optimization [36], (v) Disjunctive Optimization [2], (vi) Robust Optimization [24,39,42], (vii) Conic Optimization [4], (viii) Optimal Control [1], and (ix) Stochastic Optimal Control [33]. Concerning classes of future real-world applications we would like to recommend emerging challenges of, for example, (a) Collaborative Games under Ellipsoidal Uncertainty or (per inner or outer approximations) Hypercube Uncertainty [11,52], (b) Transportation ("Piano Mover's" and many more) problems [32,40], (c) Supply Chain and Inventory Management [12,20,30,41,43,57] Production Planning [38], various kinds of (d) Design problems [46], (e) Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (e.g., "Infinite Kernel Learning") [6,13,28], and (f ) Finance, Actuarial Sciences and Pension Fund Systems [14,19,55].…”
