In this paper we study the problem of parametric minimization of convex piecewise quadratic functions. Our study provides a unifying framework for convex parametric quadratic and linear programs. Furthermore, it extends parametric programming algorithms to problems with piecewise quadratic cost functions, paving the way for new applications of parametric programming in dynamic programming and o...

multi objective quadratic fractional programming (moqfp) problem involves optimization of several objective functions in the form of a ratio of numerator and denominator functions which involve both contains linear and quadratic forms with the assumption that the set of feasible solutions is a convex polyhedral with a nite number of extreme points and the denominator part of each of the object...

Given an undirected graph G = (V,E), we consider the graph bisection problem, which consists in partitioning the nodes of G in two disjoined sets with p and n− p nodes respectively such that the total weight of edges crossing between subsets is minimal. We apply QCR to it, a general method, presented in [4], which combines semidefinite programming (SDP) and Mixed Integer Quadratic Programming (...

We propose a modification of our MPGP algorithm for the solution of bound constrained quadratic programming problems so that it can be used for minimization of a strictly convex quadratic function subject to separable convex constraints. Our active set based algorithm explores the faces by conjugate gradients and changes the active sets and active variables by gradient projections, possibly wit...
