Beyond binarity: Semidefinite programming for ternary quadratic problems
We study the ternary quadratic problem (TQP), a quadratic optimization problem with linear constraints where the variables take values in {0,±1}. While semidefinite programming (SDP) techniques are well established for {0,1}- and {±1}-valued quadratic problems, no dedicated integer semidefinite programming framework exists for the ternary case. In this paper, we introduce a ternary SDP formulation … Read more
