Relaxations of KKT Conditions do not Strengthen Finite RLT and SDP-RLT Bounds for Nonconvex Quadratic Programs

We consider linear and semidefinite programming relaxations of nonconvex quadratic programs given by the reformulation-linearization technique (RLT relaxation), and the Shor relaxation combined with the RLT relaxation (SDP-RLT relaxation). By incorporating the first-order optimality conditions, a quadratic program can be formulated as an optimization problem with complementarity constraints. We investigate the effect of incorporating optimality … Read more

Polyhedral Properties of RLT Relaxations of Nonconvex Quadratic Programs and Their Implications on Exact Relaxations

We study linear programming relaxations of nonconvex quadratic programs given by the reformulation-linearization technique (RLT), referred to as RLT relaxations. We investigate the relations between the polyhedral properties of the feasible regions of a quadratic program and its RLT relaxation. We establish various connections between recession directions, boundedness, and vertices of the two feasible regions. … Read more
