 By generalizing the objective function to reals, we can solve non-linear but polynomial optimization problems using quantifier elimination over reals. By generalizing the objective function to reals, we can solve non-linear but polynomial optimization problems using quantifier elimination over reals.

 +  * Françoise Maurin, Ehrenfeucht games and ordinal addition, 1998.  (We show in this paper that the theory of ordinal addition of any fixed ordinal ω^α, with α less than ω^ω, admits a quantifier elimination. This in particular gives a new proof for the decidability result first established in 1965 by R. Büchi using transfinite automata. Our proof is based on the Ehrenfeucht games, and we show that quantifier elimination go through generalized power.
