On the Minimum Volume Covering Ellipsoid of Ellipsoids

We study the problem of computing a $(1+\eps)$-approximation to the minimum volume covering ellipsoid of a given set $\cS$ of the convex hull of $m$ full-dimensional ellipsoids in $\R^n$. We extend the first-order algorithm of Kumar and \Yildirim~that computes an approximation to the minimum volume covering ellipsoid of a finite set of points in $\R^n$, … Read more
