An eigenvalue decomposition based branch-and-bound algorithm for nonconvex quadratic programming problems with convex quadratic constraints

In this paper, we propose a branch-and-bound algorithm for finding a global optimal solution for a nonconvex quadratic program with convex quadratic constraints (NQPCQC). We first reformulate NQPCQC by adding some nonconvex quadratic constraints induced by eigenvectors of negative eigenvalues associated with the nonconvex quadratic objective function to Shor’s semidefinite relaxation. Under the assumption of having a bounded feasible domain, these nonconvex quadratic constraints can be further relaxed into linear ones to form a special semidefinite programming relaxation. Then an efficient branch-and-bound algorithm branching along the eigendirections of negative eigenvalues is designed. The theoretic convergence property and the worst-case complexity of the proposed algorithm are proved. Numerical experiments are conducted on several types of quadratic programs to show the efficiency of the proposed method.     

An outcome space approach for generalized convex multiplicative programs

This paper addresses the problem of minimizing an arbitrary finite sum of products of two convex functions over a convex set. Nonconvex problems in this form constitute a class of generalized convex multiplicative problems. Convex analysis results allow to reformulate the problem as an indefinite quadratic problem with infinitely many linear constraints. Special properties of the quadratic problem combined with an adequate outer approximation procedure for handling its semi-infinite constrained set enable an efficient constraint enumeration global optimization algorithm for generalized convex multiplicative programs. Computational experiences illustrate the proposed approach.     

On Extensions of the Frank-Wolfe Theorems

In this paper we consider optimization problems defined by a quadratic objective function and a finite number of quadratic inequality constraints. Given that the objective function is bounded over the feasible set, we present a comprehensive study of the conditions under which the optimal solution set is nonempty, thus extending the so-called Frank-Wolfe theorem. In particular, we first prove a general continuity result for the solution set defined by a system of convex quadratic inequalities. This result implies immediately that the optimal solution set of the aforementioned problem is nonempty when all the quadratic functions involved are convex. In the absence of the convexity of the objective function, we give examples showing that the optimal solution set may be empty either when there are two or more convex quadratic constraints, or when the Hessian of the objective function has two or more negative eigenvalues. In the case when there exists only one convex quadratic inequality constraint (together with other linear constraints), or when the constraint functions are all convex quadratic and the objective function is quasi-convex (thus allowing one negative eigenvalue in its Hessian matrix), we prove that the optimal solution set is nonempty.     

Hidden convexity in some nonconvex quadratically constrained quadratic programming

We consider the problem of minimizing an indefinite quadratic objective function subject to twosided indefinite quadratic constraints. Under a suitable simultaneous diagonalization assumption (which trivially holds for trust region type problems), we prove that the original problem is equivalent to a convex minimization problem with simple linear constraints. We then consider a special problem of minimizing a concave quadratic function subject to finitely many convex quadratic constraints, which is also shown to be equivalent to a minimax convex problem. In both cases we derive the explicit nonlinear transformations which allow for recovering the optimal solution of the nonconvex problems via their equivalent convex counterparts. Special cases and applications are also discussed. We outline interior-point polynomial-time algorithms for the solution of the equivalent convex programs.

Support vector machine classifiers with uncertain knowledge sets via robust optimization

In this article we study support vector machine (SVM) classifiers in the face of uncertain knowledge sets and show how data uncertainty in knowledge sets can be treated in SVM classification by employing robust optimization. We present knowledge-based SVM classifiers with uncertain knowledge sets using convex quadratic optimization duality. We show that the knowledge-based SVM, where prior knowledge is in the form of uncertain linear constraints, results in an uncertain convex optimization problem with a set containment constraint. Using a new extension of Farkas' lemma, we reformulate the robust counterpart of the uncertain convex optimization problem in the case of interval uncertainty as a convex quadratic optimization problem. We then reformulate the resulting convex optimization problems as a simple quadratic optimization problem with non-negativity constraints using the Lagrange duality. We obtain the solution of the converted problem by a fixed point iterative algorithm and establish the convergence of the algorithm. We finally present some preliminary results of our computational experiments of the method.     

Fast algorithm for singly linearly constrained quadratic programs with box-like constraints

This paper focuses on a singly linearly constrained class of convex quadratic programs with box-like constraints. We propose a new fast algorithm based on parametric approach and secant approximation method to solve this class of quadratic problems. We design efficient implementations for our proposed algorithm and compare its performance with two state-of-the-art standard solvers called Gurobi and Mosek. Numerical results on a variety of test problems demonstrate that our algorithm is able to efficiently solve the large-scale problems with the dimension up to fifty million and it substantially outperforms Gurobi and Mosek in terms of the running time.

More with the Lemke complementarity algorithm

In the case that the matrix of a linear complementarity problem consists of the sum of a positive semi-definite matrix and a co-positive matrix a general condition is deduced implying that the Lemke algorithm will terminate with a complementarity solution. Applications are presented on bi-matrix games, convex quadratic programming and multi-period programs.Contributed to the XXIII TIMS Meeting, Athens, July 1977.     

Set Containment Characterization

Characterization of the containment of a polyhedral set in a closed halfspace, a key factor in generating knowledge-based support vector machine classifiers [7], is extended to the following: (i) containment of one polyhedral set in another; (ii) containment of a polyhedral set in a reverse-convex set defined by convex quadratic constraints; (iii) Containment of a general closed convex set, defined by convex constraints, in a reverse-convex set defined by convex nonlinear constraints. The first two characterizations can be determined in polynomial time by solving m linear programs for (i) and m convex quadratic programs for (ii), where m is the number of constraints defining the containing set. In (iii), m convex programs need to be solved in order to verify the characterization, where again m is the number of constraints defining the containing set. All polyhedral sets, like the knowledge sets of support vector machine classifiers, are characterized by the intersection of a finite number of closed halfspaces.
