A geometric program (GP) is an optimization problem of the form where are posynomials and are monomials. In the context of geometric programming (unlike standard mathematics), a monomial is a function from to defined as where and . A posynomial is any sum of monomials. Geometric programming isclosely related to convex optimization: any GP can be made convex by means of a change of variables. GPs have numerous applications, including component sizing in IC design, aircraft design, maximum likelihood estimation for logistic regression in statistics, and parameter tuning of positive linear systems in control theory.

John Kenneth Wetton (12 June 1949 – 31 January 2017) was an English singer, bassist, guitarist, and songwriter. He was born in Willington, Derbyshire, and grew up in Bournemouth, Dorset. He rose to fame with bands Mogul Thrash, Family, King Crimson, Roxy Music and Uriah Heep. Following his time with Uriah Heep, Wetton formed U.K., and later — after a brief stint in Wishbone Ash — he was the frontman and principal songwriter of the supergroup Asia, which proved to be his biggest commercial success. Their eponymous debut album sold ten million copies worldwide, and was Billboard magazine's No. 1 album of 1982. He later formed the duo Icon with his Asia band mate (and primary songwriting partner) Geoff Downes, and from the 1990s had a successful solo career, releasing several studio and live albums. Wetton's early career was as an in-demand bass player, collaborating with many members of progressive rock bands such as Yes (Steve Howe, Bill Bruford, Alan White, Billy Sherwood, Peter Banks), Roxy Music (Bryan Ferry, Phil Manzanera) and Genesis (Steve Hackett).
