Linear optimization on varieties and Chern-Mather classes
Abstract
The linear optimization degree gives an algebraic measure of complexity of optimizing a linear objective function over an algebraic model. Geometrically, it can be interpreted as the degree of a projection map on the {affine} conormal variety. Fixing an affine variety, our first result shows that the geometry of {this} conormal variety, expressed in terms of bidegrees, completely determines the Chern-Mather classes of the given variety. We also show that these bidegrees coincide with the linear optimization degrees of generic affine sections.
