In this expository note, we explain facial structures for the convex cones consisting of positive linear maps, completely positive linear maps, decomposable positive linear maps between matrix algebras, respectively. These will be applied…
A closed convex cone K is called nice, if the set K^* + F^\perp is closed for all F faces of K, where K^* is the dual cone of K, and F^\perp is the orthogonal complement of the linear span of F. The niceness property is important for two…
In this paper we derive new second-order optimality conditions for a very general set-constrained optimization problem where the underlying set may be nononvex. We consider local optimality in specific directions (i.e., optimal in a…
We study touching cones of a (not necessarily closed) convex set in a finitedimensional real Euclidean vector space and we draw relationships to other concepts in Convex Geometry. Exposed faces correspond to normal cones by an antitone…
In this paper we study second-order optimality conditions for non-convex set-constrained optimization problems. For a convex set-constrained optimization problem, it is well-known that second-order optimality conditions involve the support…
We classify the faces of copositive and completely positive cones over a second-order cone and investigate their dimension and exposedness properties. Then we compute two parameters related to chains of faces of both cones. At the end, we…
Amenability is a geometric property of convex cones that is stronger than facial exposedness and assists in the study of error bounds for conic feasibility problems. In this paper we establish numerous properties of amenable cones, and…
Determinantal varieties -- the sets of bounded-rank matrices or tensors -- have attracted growing interest in low-rank optimization. The tangent cone to low-rank sets is widely studied and underpins a range of geometric methods. The…
Given any polar pair of convex bodies we study its conjugate face maps and we characterize conjugate faces of non-exposed faces in terms of normal cones. The analysis is carried out using the positive hull operator which defines lattice…
This paper explores local second-order weak sharp minima for a broad class of nonconvex optimization problems. We propose novel second-order optimality conditions formulated through the use of classical and lower generalized support…
The second-order tangent set is an important concept in describing the curvature of the set involved. Due to the existence of the complementarity condition, the second-order cone (SOC) complementarity set is a nonconvex set. Moreover,…
In this work we will discuss the facial structure of the cone of nonnegative ternary quartics with real coefficients. We will establish an equivalence relation on the set of all faces, which preserves certain properties like dimension or…
A convex optimization problem in conic form involves minimizing a linear functional over the intersection of a convex cone and an affine subspace. In some cases, it is possible to replace a conic formulation using a certain cone, with a…
A new notion of face relative interior for convex sets in topological real vector spaces is introduced in this work. Face relative interior is grounded in the facial structure, and may capture the geometry of convex sets in topological…
Hidden convexity is a powerful idea in optimization: under the right transformations, nonconvex problems that are seemingly intractable can be solved efficiently using convex optimization. We introduce the notion of a Lagrangian dual…
We first study Clarke's tangent cones at infinity to unbounded subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n.$ We prove that these cones are closed convex and show a characterization of their interiors. We then study subgradients at infinity for extended real…
The tensor product of two ordered vector spaces can be ordered in more than one way, just as the tensor product of normed spaces can be normed in multiple ways. Two natural orderings have received considerable attention in the past, namely…
A convex cone is said to be projectionally exposed (p-exposed) if every face arises as a projection of the original cone. It is known that, in dimension at most four, the intersection of two p-exposed cones is again p-exposed. In this paper…
Amenability is a notion of facial exposedness for convex cones that is stronger than being facially dual complete (or "nice") which is, in turn, stronger than merely being facially exposed. Hyperbolicity cones are a family of algebraically…
We study the notion of algebraic tangent cones at singularities of reflexive sheaves. These correspond to extensions of reflexive sheaves across a negative divisor. We show the existence of optimal extensions in a constructive manner, and…
