Semidefinite programs are a class of optimization problems that have been studied extensively during the past 15 years. Semidefinite programs are naturally related to linear programs, and both are defined using deterministic data. Stochastic programs were introduced in the 1950s as a paradigm for dealing with uncertainty in data defining linear programs. In this paper, we introduce stochastic semidefinite...
We give a complete characterization of constant quadratic functions over an affine variety. This result is used to convexify the objective function of a general quadratic programming problem (Pb) which contains linear equality constraints. Thanks to this convexification, we show that one can express as a semidefinite program the dual of the partial Lagrangian relaxation of (Pb) where the linear constraints...
This is a summary of the author’s PhD thesis supervised by A. Billionnet and S. Elloumi and defended on November 2006 at the CNAM, Paris (Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers). The thesis is written in French and is available from http://www.cedric.cnam.fr/PUBLIS/RC1115. This work deals with exact solution methods based on reformulations for quadratic 0–1 programs under linear constraints. These...
Semidefinite optimization is a strong tool in the study of NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems. On the one hand, semidefinite optimization problems are in principle solvable in polynomial time (with fixed precision), on the other hand, their modeling power allows to naturally handle quadratic constraints. Contrary to linear optimization with the efficiency of the Simplex method, the algorithmic...
