A Semidefinite Optimization Approach to Quadratic Fractional Optimization with a Strictly Convex Quadratic Constraint

In this paper we consider a fractional optimization problem that minimizes the ratio of two quadratic functions subject to a strictly convex quadratic constraint. First using the extension of Charnes-Cooper transformation, an equivalent homogenized quadratic reformulation of the problem is given. Then we show that under certain assumptions, it can be solved to global optimality using semidefini...

An Interior Point Algorithm for Solving Convex Quadratic Semidefinite Optimization Problems Using a New Kernel Function

In this paper, we consider convex quadratic semidefinite optimization problems and provide a primal-dual Interior Point Method (IPM) based on a new kernel function with a trigonometric barrier term. Iteration complexity of the algorithm is analyzed using some easy to check and mild conditions. Although our proposed kernel function is neither a Self-Regular (SR) fun...

A path following interior-point algorithm for semidefinite optimization problem based on new kernel function

In this paper, we deal to obtain some new complexity results for solving semidefinite optimization (SDO) problem by interior-point methods (IPMs). We define a new proximity function for the SDO by a new kernel function. Furthermore we formulate an algorithm for a primal dual interior-point method (IPM) for the SDO by using the proximity function and give its complexity analysis, and then we sho...

A semidefinite relaxation scheme for quadratically constrained

  Semidefinite optimization relaxations are among the widely used approaches to find global optimal or approximate solutions for many nonconvex problems. Here, we consider a specific quadratically constrained quadratic problem with an additional linear constraint. We prove that under certain conditions the semidefinite relaxation approach enables us to find a global optimal solution of the unde...
