We consider the approximate minimization of a given polynomial on the s
tandard simplex, obtained by taking the minimum value over all rational grid points
with given denominator r∈N.
It was shown in [De Klerk, E., Laurent, M., Sun, Z.: An error analysis for
polynomial optimization over the simplex based on the multivariate hypergeometric distribution.
SIAM J. Optim. 25(3) 1498–1514 (2015)] that the relative accuracy of this approximation depends on
r as O(1/r2) if there exists a rational global minimizer. In this note we show that th
e rational minimizer condition is not necessary to obtain the O(1/r2) bound.
