Recently, Gowda et al. [10] established the Fischer-Burmeister (FB) complementarity function (C-function) on Euclidean Jordan algebras. In this paper, we prove that FB C-function as well as the derivatives of the squared norm of FB C-function are Lipschitz continuous.

This paper focuses on monotone L\”{o}wner operators in Euclidean Jordan algebras and their applications to the symmetric cone complementarity problem (SCCP). We prove necessary and sufficient conditions for locally Lipschitz L\”{o}wner operators to be monotone, strictly monotone and strongly monotone. We also study the relationship between monotonicity and operator-monotonicity of L\”{o}wner operators. As a by-product … Read more
This short note extends the sparse SOS (sum of squares) and SDP (semidefinite programming) relaxation proposed by Waki, Kim, Kojima and Muramatsu for normal POPs (polynomial optimization problems) to POPs over symmetric cones, and establishes its theoretical convergence based on the recent convergence result by Lasserre on the sparse SOS and SDP relaxation for normal … Read more
This paper is based on a recent work by Kojima which extended sums of squares relaxations of polynomial optimization problems to polynomial semidefinite programs. Let ${\cal E}$ and ${\cal E}_+$ be a finite dimensional real vector space and a symmetric cone embedded in ${\cal E}$; examples of $\calE$ and $\calE_+$ include a pair of the … Read more
