Exploiting Sparsity in SDP Relaxation for Sensor Network Localization

A sensor network localization problem can be formulated as a quadratic optimization problem (QOP). For quadratic optimization problems, semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation by Lasserre with relaxation order 1 for general polynomial optimization problems (POPs) is known to be equivalent to the sparse SDP relaxation by Waki {¥it et al.} with relaxation order 1, except the … Read more
