There is a remarkable connection between the clique number and the Lagrangian of a 2-graph proved by Motzkin and Straus in 1965. It is useful in practice if similar results hold for hypergraphs. However the obvious generalization of Motzkin…

This is a tutorial and survey paper on Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions, first-order and second-order numerical optimization, and distributed optimization. After a brief review of history of optimization, we start with some preliminaries…

In this paper, we provide a complete characterization on the robust isolated calmness of the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) solution mapping for convex constrained optimization problems regularized by the nuclear norm function. This study is…

This paper unifies the theory of consistent-set maximization for robust outlier detection in a simultaneous localization and mapping framework. We first describe the notion of pairwise consistency before discussing how a consistency graph…

We provide conditions ensuring that the KKT-type conditions characterizes the global optimality for quadratically constrained (possibly nonconvex) quadratic programming QCQP problems in Hilbert spaces. The key property is the convexity of a…

There is a remarkable connection between the maximum clique number and the Lagrangian of a graph given by T. S. Motzkin and E.G. Straus in 1965. This connection and its extensions were successfully employed in optimization to provide…

Quadratic programmingis a class of constrained optimization problem with quadratic objective functions and linear constraints. It has applications in many areas and is also used to solve nonlinear optimization problems. This article focuses…

We develop a homotopy-based framework for computing Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) points of multiobjective optimization problems. The proposed homotopy map continuously deforms an easily solvable system into the KKT conditions associated with…

We investigate a hierarchy of semidefinite bounds $\vartheta^{(r)}(G)$ for the stability number $\alpha(G)$ of a graph $G$, based on its copositive programming formulation and introduced by de Klerk and Pasechnik [{\em SIAM J. Optim.} 12…

We develop refined Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) and Fritz-John (FJ)-type optimality conditions for nonsmooth, nonconvex mathematical pro\-gra\-mming problems. We pay special attention in the case that the functional constraint belongs to a…

A graph with convex quadratic stability number is a graph for which the stability number is determined by solving a convex quadratic program. Since the very beginning, where a convex quadratic programming upper bound on the stability number…

Combinatorial threshold-linear networks (CTLNs) are a special class of recurrent neural networks whose dynamics are tightly controlled by an underlying directed graph. Recurrent networks have long been used as models for associative memory…

The Maclaurin inequalities for graphs are a broad generalisation of the classical theorems of Tur\'an and Zykov. In a nutshell they provide an asymptotically sharp answer to the following question: what is the maximum number of cliques of…

A (unit) disk graph is the intersection graph of closed (unit) disks in the plane. Almost three decades ago, an elegant polynomial-time algorithm was found for \textsc{Maximum Clique} on unit disk graphs [Clark, Colbourn, Johnson; Discrete…

Many hard graph problems can be solved efficiently when restricted to graphs of bounded treewidth, and more generally to graphs of bounded clique-width. But there is a price to be paid for this generality, exemplified by the four problems…

This paper targets to a novel but practical recommendation problem named exact-K recommendation. It is different from traditional top-K recommendation, as it focuses more on (constrained) combinatorial optimization which will optimize to…

This paper is devoted to studying the robust isolated calmness of the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) solution mapping for a large class of interesting conic programming problems (including most commonly known ones arising from applications) at a…

We study the numerical topology of the clique complex $K_n=\mathrm{Cl}(G_n)$, where $G_n$ is the partition graph on the set of integer partitions of $n$. Building on the previously established homotopy equivalence $K_n \simeq \vee^{\,b_n}…

Since its first use by Euler on the problem of the seven bridges of K\"onigsberg, graph theory has shown excellent abilities in solving and unveiling the properties of multiple discrete optimization problems. The study of the structure of…

We address the problem of finding the nearest graph Laplacian to a given matrix, with the distance measured using the Frobenius norm. Specifically, for the directed graph Laplacian, we propose two novel algorithms by reformulating the…
