Bruno F. Lourenço In this paper we analyze and solve eigenvalue programs, which consist of the task of minimizing a function subject to constraints on the “eigenvalues” of the decision variable. Here, by making use of the FTvN systems framework introduced by Gowda, we interpret “eigenvalues” in a broad fashion going beyond the usual eigenvalues of matrices. This … Read more
\(\) Let \(({\bf P},{\bf D})\) be a primal-dual pair of SDPs with a nonzero finite duality gap. Under such circumstances, \({\bf P}\) and \({\bf D}\) are weakly feasible and if we perturb the problem data to recover strong feasibility, the (common) optimal value function \(v\) as a function of the perturbation is not well-defined at … Read more
A hyperbolicity cone is said to be rank-one generated (ROG) if all its extreme rays have rank one, where the rank is computed with respect the underlying hyperbolic polynomial. This is a natural class of hyperbolicity cones which are strictly more general than the ROG spectrahedral cones. In this work, we present a study of … Read more
