Interior-Point Algorithms for Semidefinite Programming Based on A Nonlinear Programming Formulation
(1999-12)
Recently, the authors of this paper introduced a nonlinear transformation to convert the positive definiteness constraint on an n × n matrix function of a certain form into the positivity constraint on n scalar variables ...
Maximum Stable Set Formulations and Heuristics Based on Continuous Optimization
(2000-12)
The stability number for a given graph G is the size of a maximum stable set in G. The Lovasz theta number provides an upper bound on the stability number and can be computed as the optimal value of the Lovasz semidefinite ...
Solving Semidefinite Programs via Nonlinear Programming, Part I: Transformations and Derivatives
(1999-09)
In this paper, we introduce transformations that convert a large class of linear and/or nonlinear semidefinite programming (SDP) problems into nonlinear optimization problems over "orthants" of the form (R^n)++ × R^N, ...
Rank-Two Relaxation Heuristics for Max-Cut and Other Binary Quadratic Programs
(2000-11)
Semidefinite relaxation for certain discrete optimization problems involves replacing a vector-valued variable by a matrix-valued one, producing a convex program while increasing the number of variables by an order of ...
A Computational Study of a Gradient-Based Log-Barrier Algorithm for a Class of Large-Scale SDPs
(2001-06)
The authors of this paper recently introduced a transformation that converts a class of semidefinite programs (SDPs) into nonlinear optimization problems free of matrix-valued constraints and variables. This transformation ...
