We address combinatorial optimization problems with uncertain coefficients varying over ellipsoidal uncertainty sets. The robust counterpart of such a problem can be rewritten as a second-oder cone program (SOCP) with integrality…

We consider linear-programming (LP) decoding of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. While it is clear that one can use any general-purpose LP solver to solve the LP that appears in the decoding problem, we argue in this paper that the LP…

We give two quantum algorithms for solving semidefinite programs (SDPs) providing quantum speed-ups. We consider SDP instances with $m$ constraint matrices, each of dimension $n$, rank at most $r$, and sparsity $s$. The first algorithm…

We study a class of integer bilevel programs with second-order cone constraints at the upper-level and a convex-quadratic objective function and linear constraints at the lower-level. We develop disjunctive cuts (DCs) to separate…

In this paper, we propose two algorithms for nonlinear semi-infinite semi-definite programs with infinitely many convex inequality constraints, called SISDP for short. A straightforward approach to the SISDP is to use classical methods for…

We study a class of bilevel integer programs with second-order cone constraints at the upper level and a convex quadratic objective and linear constraints at the lower level. We develop disjunctive cuts to separate bilevel infeasible points…

In order to obtain the best-known guarantees, algorithms are traditionally tailored to the particular problem we want to solve. Two recent developments, the Unique Games Conjecture (UGC) and the Sum-of-Squares (SOS) method, surprisingly…

The sum-rank metric provides a unifying framework that generalizes both the celebrated Hamming and rank metrics, and has found applications in areas such as network coding, distributed storage, and space-time coding. A central problem is to…

We propose a First-Order System Least Squares (FOSLS) method based on deep-learning for numerically solving second-order elliptic PDEs. The method we propose is capable of dealing with either variational and non-variational problems, and…

This work considers the infinite-time discounted optimal control problem for continuous time input-affine polynomial dynamical systems subject to polynomial state and box input constraints. We propose a sequence of sum-of-squares (SOS)…

Semi-algebraic proof systems such as sum-of-squares (SoS) have attracted a lot of attention recently due to their relation to approximation algorithms: constant degree semi-algebraic proofs lead to conjecturally optimal polynomial-time…

In this paper, we study the \emph{sparse integer least squares problem} (SILS), an NP-hard variant of least squares with sparse $\{0, \pm 1\}$-vectors. We propose an $\ell_1$-based SDP relaxation, and a randomized algorithm for SILS, which…

This paper presents a method for calculating Region of Attraction of a target set (not necessarily an equilibrium) for controlled polynomial dynamical systems, using a hierarchy of semidefinite programming problems (SDPs). Our approach…

Exponents and logarithms are fundamental components in many important applications such as logistic regression, maximum likelihood, relative entropy, and so on. Since the exponential cone can be viewed as the epigraph of perspective of the…

Packing and covering semidefinite programs (SDPs) appear in natural relaxations of many combinatorial optimization problems as well as a number of other applications. Recently, several techniques were proposed, that utilize the particular…

We are interested in optimally driving a dynamical system that can be influenced by exogenous noises. This is generally called a Stochastic Optimal Control (SOC) problem and the Dynamic Programming (DP) principle is the natural way of…

We exhibit families of $4$-CNF formulas over $n$ variables that have sums-of-squares (SOS) proofs of unsatisfiability of degree (a.k.a. rank) $d$ but require SOS proofs of size $n^{\Omega(d)}$ for values of $d = d(n)$ from constant all the…

Sum of Squares programming has been used extensively over the past decade for the stability analysis of nonlinear systems but several questions remain unanswered. In this paper, we show that exponential stability of a polynomial vector…

One specific subset of quantum algorithms is Grovers Ordered Search Problem (OSP), the quantum counterpart of the classical binary search algorithm, which utilizes oracle functions to produce a specified value within an ordered database.…

This paper focuses on the study of a mathematical program with equilibrium constraints, where the objective and the constraint functions are all polynomials. We present a method for finding its global minimizers and global minimum using a…
