We study the convex relaxation of a polynomial optimization problem, maximizing a product of linear forms over the complex sphere. We show that this convex program is also a relaxation of the permanent of Hermitian positive semidefinite…
An arbitrary $m\times n$ Boolean matrix $M$ can be decomposed {\em exactly} as $M =U\circ V$, where $U$ (resp. $V$) is an $m\times k$ (resp. $k\times n$) Boolean matrix and $\circ$ denotes the Boolean matrix multiplication operator. We…
