A New Second-order Cone Programming Relaxation for Max-cut Problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a new relaxation scheme for the MAX-CUT problem using second-order cone programming. We construct relaxation problems to reflect the structure of the original graph. Numerical experiments show that our relaxation gives better bounds than those based on the spectral decomposition proposed by Kim and Kojima [16], and that the efficiency of the branch-and-bound method using our relaxation is comparable to that using semidefinite relaxation in some cases.

Solving A Fractional Program with Second Order Cone Constraint
We consider a fractional program with both linear and quadratic equation in numerator and denominator having second order cone (SOC) constraints. With a suitable change of variable, we transform the problem into a second order cone programming (SOCP) problem. For the quadratic fractional case, using a relaxation, the problem is reduced to a semi-definite optimization (SDO) program. The p...
متن کاملPrimal-dual path-following algorithms for circular programming
Circular programming problems are a new class of convex optimization problems that include second-order cone programming problems as a special case. Alizadeh and Goldfarb [Math. Program. Ser. A 95 (2003) 3-51] introduced primal-dual path-following algorithms for solving second-order cone programming problems. In this paper, we generalize their work by using the machinery of Euclidean Jordan alg...
متن کاملA sub-constant improvement in approximating the positive semidefinite Grothendieck problem
Semidefinite relaxations are a powerful tool for approximately solving combinatorial optimization problems such as MAX-CUT and the Grothendieck problem. By exploiting a bounded rank property of extreme points in the semidefinite cone, we make a sub-constant improvement in the approximation ratio of one such problem. Precisely, we describe a polynomial-time algorithm for the positive semidefinit...
متن کاملSecond-Order Cone Relaxations for Binary Quadratic Polynomial Programs
Several types of relaxations for binary quadratic polynomial programs can be obtained using linear, secondorder cone, or semidefinite techniques. In this paper, we propose a general framework to construct conic relaxations for binary quadratic polynomial programs based on polynomial programming. Using our framework, we re-derive previous relaxation schemes and provide new ones. In particular, w...
متن کاملSecond Order Cone Programming Relaxation of Nonconvex Quadratic Optimization Problems
A disadvantage of the SDP (semidefinite programming) relaxation method for quadratic and/or combinatorial optimization problems lies in its expensive computational cost. This paper proposes a SOCP (second-order-cone programming) relaxation method, which strengthens the lift-and-project LP (linear programming) relaxation method by adding convex quadratic valid inequalities for the positive semid...
