The Procrustes matching (PM) problem is the problem of finding the optimal rigid motion and labeling of two point sets so that they are as close as possible. Both rigid and non-rigid shape matching problems can be formulated as PM problems.…

Quadratically constrained quadratic programs (QCQPs) are ubiquitous in optimization: Such problems arise in applications from operations research, power systems, signal processing, chemical engineering, and portfolio theory, among others.…

In this paper, by improving the variable-splitting approach, we propose a new semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation for the nonconvex quadratic optimization problem over the $\ell_1$ unit ball (QPL1). It dominates the state-of-the-art…

We analyze integer linear programs which we obtain after discretizing two-dimensional subproblems arising from a trust-region algorithm for mixed integer optimal control problems with total variation regularization. We discuss NP-hardness…

The robustness of a neural network to adversarial examples can be provably certified by solving a convex relaxation. If the relaxation is loose, however, then the resulting certificate can be too conservative to be practically useful.…

Classical trust region methods were designed to solve problems in which function and gradient information are exact. This paper considers the case when there are bounded errors (or noise) in the above computations and proposes a simple…

In computer vision, many problems such as image segmentation, pixel labelling, and scene parsing can be formulated as binary quadratic programs (BQPs). For submodular problems, cuts based methods can be employed to efficiently solve…

Many practical optimization problems lack strong convexity. Fortunately, recent studies have revealed that first-order algorithms also enjoy linear convergences under various weaker regularity conditions. While the relationship among…

Although neural networks have been applied to several systems in recent years, they still cannot be used in safety-critical systems due to the lack of efficient techniques to certify their robustness. A number of techniques based on convex…

In the present paper non-convex multi-objective parameter optimization problems are considered which are governed by elliptic parametrized partial differential equations (PDEs). To solve these problems numerically the Pascoletti-Serafini…

This paper presents a method that generates affine inequalities to strengthen the second-order conic programming (SOCP) relaxation of an alternating current optimal power flow (AC OPF) problem. The affine inequalities serve as cuts to get…

We propose a stochastic first-order trust-region method with inexact function and gradient evaluations for solving finite-sum minimization problems. Using a suitable reformulation of the given problem, our method combines the inexact…

We propose a novel algorithm, TR-SVR, for solving unconstrained stochastic optimization problems. This method builds on the trust-region framework, which effectively balances local and global exploration in optimization tasks. TR-SVR…

Random constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) such as random $3$-SAT are conjectured to be computationally intractable. The average case hardness of random $3$-SAT and other CSPs has broad and far-reaching implications on problems in…

In this work, we consider the low rank decomposition (SDPR) of general convex semidefinite programming problems (SDP) that contain both a positive semidefinite matrix and a nonnegative vector as variables. We develop a rank-support-adaptive…

In this paper, we concentrate on a particular category of quadratically constrained quadratic programming (QCQP): nonconvex QCQP with one equality constraint. This type of QCQP problem optimizes a quadratic objective under a fixed…

We consider the problem of maximizing a convex quadratic function over a bounded polyhedral set. We design a new framework based on SDP relaxations and cutting plane methods for solving the associated reference value problem. The major…

We propose a derivative-free trust-region method based on finite-difference gradient approximations for smooth optimization problems with convex constraints. The proposed method does not require computing an approximate stationarity…

In this paper, we study a class of fractional semi-infinite polynomial programming problems involving s.o.s-convex polynomial functions. For such a problem, by a conic reformulation proposed in our previous work and the quadratic modules…

In this work, we present a heretofore unseen application of Ising machines to perform trust region-based optimisation with box constraints. This is done by considering a specific form of opto-electronic oscillator-based coherent Ising…
