Semidefinite programming has been applied to find approximate solutions to combinatorial optimization problems, such as the solution of the max cut problem with an approximation ratio …

we will see how semidefinite programming can be used to relax a large class of nonconvex problems that includes combinatorial problems as well, and find globally optimal solutions. L10.1

The goal of semidefinite programming is to solve optimization problems where the input is a matrix that is constrained to be PSD. I.e. we optimize over X∈R n×n where X∈Kand: K= {M|M⪰0}.

Semidefinite programs constitute one of the largest classes of optimization problems that can be solved with reasonable efficiency - both in theory and practice.

Here we describe this class of optimization problems, give a number of examples demonstrating its significance, outline its duality theory, and discuss algorithms for solving such problems.

Feb 23, 2016 · Is there any well-established class of optimization problems that is more general than semidefinite programs? Conic optimization problems would be an example of this, but I'm …

6 days ago · In this paper, we will consider two classes of optimization problems with LMI constraints: The semidefinite programming problem, i.e., the problem of minimizing a linear …

Jun 14, 2022 · What you could say is that the emergence of semidefinite programming solvers allows you to solve a broader class of problems in practice, as solvers previously were limited …
