This paper is concerned with polynomial optimization problems. We show how to exploit term (or monomial) sparsity of the input polynomials to obtain a new converging hierarchy of semidefinite programming relaxations. The novelty (and…

Spreading the information over all coefficients of a representation is a desirable property in many applications such as digital communication or machine learning. This so-called antisparse representation can be obtained by solving a convex…

The framework of Integral Quadratic Constraints (IQC) reduces the computation of upper bounds on the convergence rate of several optimization algorithms to a semi-definite program (SDP). In the case of over-relaxed Alternating Direction…

The quadratic programming over one inequality quadratic constraint (QP1QC) is a very special case of quadratically constrained quadratic programming (QCQP) and attracted much attention since early 1990's. It is now understood that, under…

We consider a new semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation of the symmetric traveling salesman problem (TSP) that may be obtained via an SDP relaxation of the more general quadratic assignment problem (QAP). We show that the new relaxation…

We study mixed-integer programming (MIP) relaxation techniques for the solution of non convex mixed-integer quadratically constrained quadratic programs (MIQCQPs). We present MIP relaxation methods for non convex continuous variable…

We present a novel, general, and unifying point of view on sparse approaches to polynomial optimization. Solving polynomial optimization problems to global optimality is a ubiquitous challenge in many areas of science and engineering.…

A polynomial matrix inequality is a formula asserting that a polynomial matrix is positive semidefinite. Polynomial matrix optimization concerns minimizing the smallest eigenvalue of a symmetric polynomial matrix subject to a tuple of…

In many applications, it makes sense to solve the least square problems with nonnegative constraints. In this article, we present a new multiplicative iteration that monotonically decreases the value of the nonnegative quadratic programming…

Many problems in control theory can be formulated as semidefinite programs (SDPs). For large-scale SDPs, it is important to exploit the inherent sparsity to improve the scalability. This paper develops efficient first-order methods to solve…

Sparse compiler is a promising solution for sparse tensor algebra optimization. In compiler implementation, reduction in sparse-dense hybrid algebra plays a key role in performance. Though GPU provides various reduction semantics that can…

This work proposes a new moment-SOS hierarchy, called CS-TSSOS, for solving large-scale sparse polynomial optimization problems. Its novelty is to exploit simultaneously correlative sparsity and term sparsity by combining advantages of two…

Constraint programming uses enumeration and search tree pruning to solve combinatorial optimization problems. In order to speed up this solution process, we investigate the use of semidefinite relaxations within constraint programming. In…

We show a new way to round vector solutions of semidefinite programming (SDP) hierarchies into integral solutions, based on a connection between these hierarchies and the spectrum of the input graph. We demonstrate the utility of our method…

We introduce BayeSQP, a novel algorithm for general black-box optimization that merges the structure of sequential quadratic programming with concepts from Bayesian optimization. BayeSQP employs second-order Gaussian process surrogates for…

In this work we are interested in nonlinear symmetric cone problems (NSCPs), which contain as special cases nonlinear semidefinite programming, nonlinear second order cone programming and the classical nonlinear programming problems. We…

In this paper, we show that the popular K-means clustering problem can equivalently be reformulated as a conic program of polynomial size. The arising convex optimization problem is NP-hard, but amenable to a tractable semidefinite…

This paper studies how to compute global minimizers of the cubic-quartic regularization (CQR) problem \[ \min_{s \in \mathbb{R}^n} \quad f_0+g^Ts+\frac{1}{2}s^THs+\frac{\beta}{6} \| s \|^3+\frac{\sigma}{4} \| s \|^4, \] where $f_0$ is a…

Decomposition techniques for linear programming are difficult to extend to conic optimization problems with general non-polyhedral convex cones because the conic inequalities introduce an additional nonlinear coupling between the variables.…

We analyze a sequential quadratic programming algorithm for solving a class of abstract optimization problems. Assuming that the initial point is in an $L^2$ neighborhood of a local solution that satisfies no-gap second-order sufficient…
