The second-order cone (SOC) is a class of simple convex cones and optimizing over them can be done more efficiently than with semidefinite programming. It is interesting both in theory and in practice to investigate which convex cones admit…
Binary quadratic programming problems have attracted much attention in the last few decades due to their potential applications. This type of problems are NP-hard in general, and still considered a challenge in the design of efficient…
In the monotone integer dualization problem, we are given two sets of vectors in an integer box such that no vector in the first set is dominated by a vector in the second. The question is to check if the two sets of vectors cover the…
In polynomial optimization problems, nonnegativity constraints are typically handled using the sum of squares condition. This can be efficiently enforced using semidefinite programming formulations, or as more recently proposed by Papp and…
This paper studies robust solutions and semidefinite linear programming (SDP) relaxations of a class of convex polynomial programs in the face of data uncertainty. The class of convex programs, called robust SOS-convex programs, includes…
Global polynomial optimization is an important tool across applied mathematics, with many applications in operations research, engineering, and physical sciences. In various settings, the polynomials depend on external parameters that may…
The nonnegative matrix factorization is a widely used, flexible matrix decomposition, finding applications in biology, image and signal processing and information retrieval, among other areas. Here we present a related matrix factorization.…
Semidefinite programs (SDPs) are standard convex problems that are frequently found in control and optimization applications. Interior-point methods can solve SDPs in polynomial time up to arbitrary accuracy, but scale poorly as the size of…
We present an algorithm to reduce the computational effort for the multiplication of a given matrix with an unknown column vector. The algorithm decomposes the given matrix into a product of matrices whose entries are either zero or integer…
We study the problem of computing weighted sum-of-squares (WSOS) certificates for positive polynomials over a compact semialgebraic set. Building on the theory of interior-point methods for convex optimization, we introduce the concept of…
We introduce twisted matrix factorizations for quantum complete intersections of codimension two. For such an algebra, we show that in a given dimension, almost all the indecomposable modules with bounded minimal projective resolutions…
In this paper, we study a class of fractional semi-infinite polynomial programming (FSIPP) problems, in which the objective is a fraction of a convex polynomial and a concave polynomial, and the constraints consist of infinitely many convex…
Self-scaled barrier functions are fundamental objects in the theory of interior-point methods for linear optimization over symmetric cones, of which linear and semidefinite programming are special cases. We are classifying all self-scaled…
Semidefinite programs (SDP) are one of the most versatile frameworks in numerical optimization, serving as generalizations of many conic programs and as relaxations of NP-hard combinatorial problems. Their main drawback is their…
In this paper, we describe the structural properties of the cone of $\mathcal{Z}$-transformations on the second order cone in terms of the semidefinite cone and copositive/completely positive cones induced by the second order cone and its…
In (Davis and Papp, 2022), the authors introduced the concept of dual certificates of (weighted) sum-of-squares polynomials, which are vectors from the dual cone of weighted sums of squares (WSOS) polynomials that can be interpreted as…
The abbreviations LMI and SOS stand for `linear matrix inequality' and `sum of squares', respectively. The cone $\Sigma_{n,2d}$ of SOS polynomials in $n$ variables of degree at most $2d$ is known to have a semidefinite extended formulation…
Postive semidefinite (PSD) cone is the cone of positive semidefinite matrices, and is the object of interest in semidefinite programming (SDP). A computational efficient approximation of the PSD cone is the $k$-PSD closure, $1 \leq k < n$,…
We investigate compressibility of the dimension of positive semidefinite matrices while approximately preserving their pairwise inner products. This can either be regarded as compression of positive semidefinite factorizations of…
The problem of decomposing a given covariance matrix as the sum of a positive semi-definite matrix of given rank and a positive semi-definite diagonal matrix, is considered. We present a projection-type algorithm to address this problem.…
