Exploiting Second-Order Cone Structure for Global Optimization

چکیده
Identifying and exploiting classes of nonconvex constraints whose feasible region is convex after branching can reduce the time to compute global solutions for nonlinear optimization problems. We develop techniques for identifying quadratic and nonlinear constraints whose feasible region can be represented as the union of a finite number of second-order cones, and we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for some reformulations. We then construct a library of small instances where these reformulations are applicable. Comparing our method to general-purpose solvers, we observe several orders of magnitude improvement in performance.

Waveform Design using Second Order Cone Programming in Radar Systems
Transmit waveform design is one of the most important problems in active sensing and communication systems. This problem, due to the complexity and non-convexity, has been always the main topic of many papers for the decades. However, still an optimal solution which guarantees a global minimum for this multi-variable optimization problem is not found. In this paper, we propose an attracting met...
متن کاملOn the existence of saddle points for nonlinear second-order cone programming problems
In this paper, we study the existence of local and global saddle points for nonlinear second-order cone programming problems. The existence of local saddle points is developed by using the second-order sufficient conditions, in which a sigma-term is added to reflect the curvature of second-order cone. Furthermore, by dealing with the perturbation of the primal problem, we establish the existenc...
متن کاملAnalytic Solution for Hypersonic Flow Past a Slender Elliptic Cone Using Second-Order Perturbation Approximations
An approximate analytical solution is obtained for hypersonic flow past a slender elliptic cone using second-order perturbation techniques in spherical coordinate systems. The analysis is based on perturbations of hypersonic flow past a circular cone aligned with the free stream, the perturbations stemming from the small cross-section eccentricity. By means of hypersonic approximations for the ...
متن کاملMultiple View Geometry and the -norm
This paper presents a new framework for solving geometric structure and motion problems based on -norm. Instead of using the common sum-of-squares cost-function, that is, the -norm, the model-fitting errors are measured using the -norm. Unlike traditional methods based on , our framework allows for efficient computation of global estimates. We show that a variety of structure and motion problem...
متن کاملSolving 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...
