We provide convergent hierarchies for the cone C of copositive matrices and its dual, the cone of completely positive matrices. In both cases the corresponding hierarchy consists of nested spectrahedra and provide outer (resp. inner)…
Copositive and completely positive matrices play an increasingly important role in Applied Mathematics, namely as a key concept for approximating NP-hard optimization problems. The cone of copositive matrices of a given order and the cone…
In this paper we give a first study of perfect copositive $n \times n$ matrices. They can be used to find rational certificates for completely positive matrices. We describe similarities and differences to classical perfect, positive…
Given a proper cone $K$ in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, a square matrix $A$ is said to be $K$-semipositive if there exists an $x\in K$ such that $Ax\in \text{int}(K)$, the topological interior of $K$. The paper aims to study…
This is a revised form of the previous paper in which we study cones of positive maps of B(H) into itself. We add the result that the dual cone of a symmetric mapping cone is itself a symmetric mapping cone. As applications we obtain…
The structure of cones of positive and k-positive maps acting on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space is investigated. Special emphasis is given to their duality relations to the sets of superpositive and k-superpositive maps. We characterize…
The Z-property of a linear map with respect to a cone is an extension of the notion of Z-matrices. In a recent paper of Orlitzky (see Corollary 6.2 in M. Orlitzky. Positive and $\mathbf{Z}$-operators on closed convex cones, Electron. J…
We study the so-called K-positive linear maps from B(L) into B(H) for finite dimensional Hilbert spaces L and H and give characterizations of the dual cone of the cone of K-positive maps. Applications are given to decomposable maps and…
We investigate structural properties of the completely positive semidefinite cone $\mathcal{CS}_+^n$, consisting of all the $n \times n$ symmetric matrices that admit a Gram representation by positive semidefinite matrices of any size. This…
This chapter investigates the cone of copositive matrices, with a focus on the design and analysis of conic inner approximations for it. These approximations are based on various sufficient conditions for matrix copositivity, relying on…
An $n\times n$ symmetric matrix $A$ is copositive if the quadratic form $x^TAx$ is nonnegative on the nonnegative orthant. The cone of copositive matrices strictly contains the cone of completely positive matrices, i.e., all matrices of the…
An $n\times n$ symmetric matrix $A$ is copositive if the quadratic form $x^TAx$ is nonnegative on the nonnegative orthant $\mathbb{R}^{n}_{\geq 0}$. The cone of copositive matrices contains the cone of matrices which are the sum of a…
Let $A$ be an $m \times n$ matrix with real entries. Given two proper cones $K_1$ and $K_2$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $\mathbb{R}^m$, respectively, we say that $A$ is nonnegative if $A(K_1) \subseteq K_2$. $A$ is said to be semipositive if…
We introduce the notion of one-sided mapping cones of positive linear maps between matrix algebras. These are convex cones of maps that are invariant under compositions by completely positive maps from either the left or right side. The…
We generalize Voronoi's theory of perfect quadratic forms to generalized copositive matrices over a closed convex and full-dimensional cone K. We introduce a notion of a K-copositive minimum and of perfect K-copositive matrices. We consider…
An alternative, geometrical proof of a known theorem concerning the decomposition of positive maps of the matrix algebra $M_{2}(\mathbb{C})$ has been presented. The premise of the proof is the identification of positive maps with operators…
We consider a wide class of closed convex cones $K$ in the space of real $n\times n$ symmetric matrices and establish the existence of a chain of faces of $K$, the length of which is maximized at $\frac{n(n+1)}{2} + 1$. Examples of such…
In this thesis, we present results related to complementarity problems. We study the linear complementarity problems on extended second order cones. We convert a linear complementarity problem on an extended second order cone into a mixed…
A convex cone is homogeneous if its automorphism group acts transitively on the interior of the cone, i.e., for every pair of points in the interior of the cone, there exists a cone automorphism that maps one point to the other. Cones that…
A symmetric matrix $A$ is completely positive (CP) if there exists an entrywise nonnegative matrix $B$ such that $A = BB^T$. We characterize the interior of the CP cone. A semidefinite algorithm is proposed for checking interiors of the CP…
