A Fresh Geometrical Look at the General S-Procedure

Optimization and Control 2021-05-13 v2

Abstract

We revisit the S-procedure for general functions with "geometrical glasses". We thus delineate a necessary condition, and almost a sufficient condition, to have the S-procedure valid. Everything is expressed in terms of convexity of augmented sets (convex hulls, conical hulls) of images built from the data functions.
