Optimization and Control 2018-01-08 v2

Abstract

Maximizing the sum of two generalized Rayleigh quotients (SRQ) can be reformulated as a one-dimensional optimization problem, where the function value evaluations are reduced to solving semi-definite programming (SDP) subproblems. In this paper, we first use the dual SDP subproblem to construct an explicit overestimation and then propose a branch-and-bound algorithm to globally solve (SRQ). Numerical results demonstrate that it is even more efficient than the recent SDP-based heuristic algorithm.
