Boolean quadratic optimization problems occur in a number of applications. Their mixed integer-continuous nature is challenging, since it is inherently NP-hard. For this motivation, semidefinite programming relaxations (SDR's) are proposed…

Mixed-Integer Programming (MIP), particularly Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) and Mixed-Integer Quadratic Programming (MIQP), has found extensive applications in domains such as portfolio optimization and network flow control, which…

We revisit the problem of large-scale bundle adjustment and propose a technique called Multidirectional Conjugate Gradients that accelerates the solution of the normal equation by up to 61%. The key idea is that we enlarge the search space…

We develop a real-time feasible mixed-integer programming-based decision making (MIP-DM) system for automated driving. Using a linear vehicle model in a road-aligned coordinate frame, the lane change constraints, collision avoidance and…

In this paper, we consider a class of nonconvex complex quadratic programming (CQP) problems, which find a broad spectrum of signal processing applications. By using the polar coordinate representations of the complex variables, we first…

We propose a manifold optimization approach to solve linear semidefinite programs (SDP) with low-rank solutions, with an emphasis on SDP relaxations for polynomial optimization problems. This approach incorporates the inexact augmented…

This paper extends the SQP-approach of the well-known bundle-Newton method for nonsmooth unconstrained minimization to the nonlinearly constrained case. Instead of using a penalty function or a filter or an improvement function to deal with…

The 'exact subgraph' approach was recently introduced as a hierarchical scheme to get increasingly tight semidefinite programming relaxations of several NP-hard graph optimization problems. Solving these relaxations is a computational…

Biclustering, also called co-clustering, block clustering, or two-way clustering, involves the simultaneous clustering of both the rows and columns of a data matrix into distinct groups, such that the rows and columns within a group display…

In this paper, we give a new penalized semidefinite programming approach for non-convex quadratically-constrained quadratic programs (QCQPs). We incorporate penalty terms into the objective of convex relaxations in order to retrieve…

Convex separable quadratic optimization problems occur in many practical applications. In this paper, based on an iterative resolution scheme of the KKT system, we develop an efficient method for solving a quadratic programming problem with…

We propose a novel methodology for solving a two-stage adjustable robust convex optimisation problem with a general (proximable) convex objective function and constraints defined by sum-of-squares (SOS) convex polynomials. These problems…

This paper studies binary quadratic programs in which the objective is defined by a Euclidean distance matrix, subject to a general polyhedral constraint set. This class of nonconcave maximisation problems includes the capacitated,…

The Mixed Quantum-Classical Initial Value Representation (MQC-IVR) is a recently introduced approximate semiclassical (SC) method for the calculation of real-time quantum correlation functions. MQC-IVR employs a modified Filinov filtration…

Many robotics problems, from robot motion planning to object manipulation, can be modeled as mixed-integer convex programs (MICPs). However, state-of-the-art algorithms are still unable to solve MICPs for control problems quickly enough for…

Mixed-integer quadratic programs (MIQPs) are a versatile way of formulating vehicle decision making and motion planning problems, where the prediction model is a hybrid dynamical system that involves both discrete and continuous decision…

In this letter, we address sparse signal recovery using spike and slab priors. In particular, we focus on a Bayesian framework where sparsity is enforced on reconstruction coefficients via probabilistic priors. The optimization resulting…

Quadratic cone programs are rapidly becoming the standard canonical form for convex optimization problems. In this paper we address the question of differentiating the solution map for such problems, generalizing previous work for linear…

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…

In this paper, we study second-order algorithms for the convex-concave minimax problem, which has attracted much attention in many fields such as machine learning in recent years. We propose a Lipschitz-free cubic regularization (LF-CR)…
