Quadratic programs with hollows
Let F be a quadratically constrained, possibly nonconvex, bounded set, and let E 1 , … , E l denote ellipsoids contained in F with non-intersecting interiors. We prove that minimizing an arbitrary quadratic q ( · ) over G : = F \ ∪ k = 1 ℓ int ( E k ) is no more difficult than minimizing q ( · ) ove...

| Summary: | Let
F
be a quadratically constrained, possibly nonconvex, bounded set, and let
E
1
,
…
,
E
l
denote ellipsoids contained in
F
with non-intersecting interiors. We prove that minimizing an arbitrary quadratic
q
(
·
)
over
G
:
=
F
\
∪
k
=
1
ℓ
int
(
E
k
)
is no more difficult than minimizing
q
(
·
)
over
F
in the following sense: if a given semidefinite-programming (SDP) relaxation for
min
{
q
(
x
)
:
x
∈
F
}
is tight, then the addition of
l
linear constraints derived from
E
1
,
…
,
E
l
yields a tight SDP relaxation for
min
{
q
(
x
)
:
x
∈
G
}
. We also prove that the convex hull of
{
(
x
,
x
x
T
)
:
x
∈
G
}
equals the intersection of the convex hull of
{
(
x
,
x
x
T
)
:
x
∈
F
}
with the same
l
linear constraints. Inspired by these results, we resolve a related question in a seemingly unrelated area, mixed-integer nonconvex quadratic programming. |
