Polynomial-Time Methods to Solve Unimodular Quadratic Programs With Performance Guarantees

We develop polynomial-time heuristic methods to solve unimodular quadratic programs (UQPs) approximately, which are known to be NP-hard. In the UQP framework, we maximize a quadratic function of a vector of complex variables with unit modulus. Several problems in active sensing and wireless communication applications boil down to UQP. With this motivation, we present three … Read more

HEURISTIC ALGORITHMS FOR DESIGNING UNIMODULAR CODE SEQUENCES WITH PERFORMANCE GUARANTEES

In this study, we develop heuristic methods to solve unimodular quadratic programming (UQP) approximately, which is known to be NP-hard. UQP-type problems appear naturally in radar waveform design and active sensing applications. In the UQP framework, we optimize a sequence of complex variables with unit modulus by maximizing a quadratic function. To solve the UQP … Read more
