I have a non-linear maximization problem and I want to convert it to be a minimization problem, can I do so by multiplying it by a negative sign, or is that wrong; and if that is wrong what should I do?

Yes  f  :  X  →      F        max          x      ∈      X        f  (  x  )  =  −      min          x      ∈      X        f  (  x  )Consider for example, the non-linear maximization problem      max          x      ∈              R              −      x    2  this is equivalent to minimizing       x    2    (in the sense that the minimizer for this is   x  =  0  ) and your original function is maximized when   x  =  0  ))
