This paper focuses on finding a solution maximizing the joint probability of satisfaction of a given set of (independent) Gaussian bilateral inequalities. A specially structured reformulation of this nonconvex optimization problem is proposed, in which all nonconvexities are embedded in a set of 2-variable functions composing the objective. From this, it is shown how a polynomial-time solvable convex relaxation can be derived. Extensive computational experiments are also reported, and compared to previously existing results, showing that the approach typically yields feasible solutions and upper bounds within much sharper confidence intervals. |
