This paper studies the possibilities of the Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) characterization of the matrix cones formed by nonnegative complex Hermitian quadratic functions over specific domains in the complex space. In its real case analog, such studies were conducted in Sturm and Zhang in 2003. In this paper it is shown that stronger results can … Read more
In this survey we review the many faces of the S-lemma, a result about the correctness of the S-procedure. The basic idea of this widely used method came from control theory but it has important consequences in quadratic and semidefinite optimization, convex geometry and linear algebra as well. These were active research areas, but as … Read more
We derive LMI-characterizations and dual decomposition algorithms for certain matrix cones which are generated by a given set using generalized co-positivity. These matrix cones are in fact cones of non-convex quadratic functions that are nonnegative on a certain domain. As a domain, we consider for instance the intersection of a (upper) level-set of a quadratic … Read more
