Finding Low-rank Solutions of Sparse Linear Matrix Inequalities using Convex Optimization
• Computer Science

• 2017
A mathematical framework to relate the rank of the minimum-rank solution of the LMI problem to the sparsity of its underlying graph is developed and three graph-theoretic convex programs to obtain a low- rank solution are proposed.

Rank-2 Matrix Solution for Semidefinite Relaxations of Arbitrary Polynomial Optimization Problems
• Computer Science
• 2014
This work shows that an arbitrary polynomial optimization has an equivalent formulation in the form of a sparse quadraticallyconstrained quadratic program (QCQP) whose SDP relaxation possesses a matrix solution with rank at most 2.
Combinatorial conditions for low rank solutions in semidefinite programming
This thesis investigates combinatorial conditions that guarantee the existence of low-rank optimal solutions to semidefinite programs and introduces a graph parameter called the extreme Gram dimension of a graph, which is upper bounded by the Gram dimension and closely related to the rank-constrained Grothendieck constant.

It is shown that the tightest relaxation is obtained when aplying the Lasserre construction to the node formulation of the max-cut problem, and the class L t of the graphs G for which Q t (G) is the cut polytope of G is shown to be closed under taking minors.
