Grothendieck inequalities for semidefinite programs with rank constraint
Grothendieck inequalities are fundamental inequalities which are frequently used in many areas of mathematics and computer science. They can be interpreted as upper bounds for the integrality gap between two optimization problems: A difficult semidefinite program with rank-1 constraint and its easy semidefinite relaxation where the rank constrained is dropped. For instance, the integrality gap ...
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 کاملGrothendieck Classes of Quiver Varieties
We prove a formula for the structure sheaf of a quiver variety in the Grothendieck ring of its embedding variety. This formula generalizes and gives new expressions for Grothendieck polynomials. Our formula is stated in terms of coefficients that are uniquely determined by the geometry and can be computed by an explicit combinatorial algorithm. We conjecture that these coefficients have signs t...
متن کاملCardinality constrained combinatorial optimization: Complexity and polyhedra
Given a combinatorial optimization problem and a subset N of natural numbers, we obtain a cardinality constrained version of this problem by permitting only those feasible solutions whose cardinalities are elements of N . In this paper we briefly touch on questions that addresses common grounds and differences of the complexity of a combinatorial optimization problem and its cardinality constra...
متن کاملA Generalization of Odd Set Inequalities for the Set Packing Problem
The set packing problem, sometimes also called the stable set problem, is a well-known NP-hard problem in combinatorial optimization with a wide range of applications and an interesting polyhedral structure, that has been the subject of intensive study. We contribute to this field by showing how, employing cliques, odd set inequalities for the matching problem can be generalized to valid inequa...
