This work investigates an efficient solution to two fundamental problems in topology optimization of frame structures. The first one involves minimizing structural compliance under linear-elastic equilibrium and weight constraint, while the…
We introduce fast randomized algorithms for solving semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxations of the partial permutation synchronization (PPS) problem, a core task in multi-image matching with significant relevance to 3D reconstruction.…
We consider a property of positive polynomials on a compact set with a small perturbation. When applied to a Polynomial Optimization Problem (POP), the property implies that the optimal value of the corresponding SemiDefinite Programming…
The problem of resolving the fine details of a signal from its coarse scale measurements or, as it is commonly referred to in the literature, the super-resolution problem arises naturally in engineering and physics in a variety of settings.…
We extend the convergence analysis for methods solving PDE-constrained optimal control problems containing both discrete and continuous control decisions based on relaxation and rounding strategies to the class of first order semilinear…
The orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) is an algorithm to solve sparse approximation problems. Sufficient conditions for exact recovery are known with and without noise. In this paper we investigate the applicability of the OMP for the…
Optimal power flow (OPF) is the central optimization problem in electric power grids. Although solved routinely in the course of power grid operations, it is known to be strongly NP-hard in general, and weakly NP-hard over tree networks. In…
The affine inverse eigenvalue problem consists of identifying a real symmetric matrix with a prescribed set of eigenvalues in an affine space. Due to its ubiquity in applications, various instances of the problem have been widely studied in…
Managing uncertainty and variability in power injections has become a major concern for power system operators due to the increasing levels of fluctuating renewable energy connected to the grid. This work addresses this uncertainty via a…
Sparse regression models are increasingly prevalent due to their ease of interpretability and superior out-of-sample performance. However, the exact model of sparse regression with an $\ell_0$ constraint restricting the support of the…
Solving the Alternating Current Optimal Power Flow (AC OPF) problem to global optimality remains challenging due to its nonconvex quadratic constraints. In this paper, we present a unified framework that combines static piecewise…
In this paper, we study a class of fractional semi-infinite polynomial programming problems involving s.o.s-convex polynomial functions. For such a problem, by a conic reformulation proposed in our previous work and the quadratic modules…

Standard quadratic optimization problems (StQPs) provide a versatile modelling tool in various applications. In this paper, we consider StQPs with a hard sparsity constraint, referred to as sparse StQPs. We focus on various tractable convex…
The subspace approximation problem Subspace($k$,$p$) asks for a $k$-dimensional linear subspace that fits a given set of points optimally, where the error for fitting is a generalization of the least squares fit and uses the $\ell_{p}$ norm…
This work addresses the occupation measure relaxation of calculus of variations problems, which is an infinite-dimensional linear programming relaxation amenable to numerical approximation by a hierarchy of semidefinite optimization…
In this work we study convex relaxations of quadratic optimisation problems over permutation matrices. While existing semidefinite programming approaches can achieve remarkably tight relaxations, they have the strong disadvantage that they…
