This paper proposes a dual Riemannian alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) for solving low-rank semidefinite programs with unit diagonal constraints. We recast the ADMM subproblem as a Riemannian optimization problem over the oblique manifold by performing the Burer-Monteiro factorization. Global convergence of the algorithm is established assuming that the subproblem is solved to certain … Read more
We present a Julia-based interface to the precompiled HALLaR and cuHALLaR binaries for large-scale semidefinite programs (SDPs). Both solvers are established as fast and numerically stable, and accept problem data in formats compatible with SDPA and a new enhanced data format taking advantage of Hybrid Sparse Low-Rank (HSLR) structure. The interface allows users to load … Read more
We propose a manifold optimization approach to solve linear semidefinite programs (SDP) with low-rank solutions. This approach incorporates the augmented Lagrangian method and the Burer-Monteiro factorization, and features the adaptive strategies for updating the factorization size and the penalty parameter. We prove that the present algorithm can solve SDPs to global optimality, despite of the … Read more
