Strong Duality and Minimal Representations for Cone Optimization
The elegant results for strong duality and strict complementarity for linear programming, \LP, can fail for cone programming over nonpolyhedral cones. One can have: unattained optimal values; nonzero duality gaps; and no primal-dual optimal pair that satisfies strict complementarity. This failure is tied to the nonclosure of sums of nonpolyhedral closed cones. We take a … Read more
