A Symbolic Algorithm For Determining Convexity of A Matrix Function: How To Get Schur Complements Out of Your Life

Authors:

Juan F. Camino, J. William Helton, Robert E. Skelton,

Volume: 1, Page 5023 Paper number 1776

Abstract:

Inequalities involving polynomials in matrices and their inverses and associated optimization problems have become very important in engineering. When these polynomials are ``matrix convex'' interior point methods apply directly. A difficulty is that often an engineering problem presents a matrix polynomial problem whose convexity takes considerable skill, time, and luck to determine. Typically this is done by looking at a formula and recognizing complicated patterns involving Schur complements; a tricky hit or miss procedure. Certainly computer assistance in determining convexity would be valuable. This paper describes some symbolic methods and software which represent a beginning along these lines. Our procedure proceeds automatically and completely avoids Schur complement wizardry. [New Paragraph] The paper presents an algorithm which takes in a noncommutative rational function F(X,Y) of X,Y and puts out a family of inequalities which determine a domain G of X and Y on which F is ``matrix convex''. Somewhat surprising and decidedly non-trivial is our main theorem showing that when the variable X is symmetric the domain G determined by our algorithm is, in a certain sense, the ``largest'' possible domain of matrix convexity for G. [New Paragraph] Of possible independent interest in this article is a theory of positivity of noncommutative quadratic functions and a noncommutative LDU algorithm. The algorithms described here have been implemented under Mathematica and the noncommutative algebra package NCAlgebra. They are available at www.math.ucsd.edu/~ncalg. Examples presented in this article illustrate some of this software.

Solving Large Structured Semidefinite Programs Using an Inexact Spectral Bundle Method

Authors:

Scott A. Miller, Roy S. Smith,

Volume: 1, Page 5027 Paper number 9704

Abstract:

Semidefinite programs have received a great deal of attention because of the variety of problems that they can model and the rich theory that leads to polynomial-time algorithms to solve them. However, large practical problems are still hard to solve because most algorithms ignore the structure of the problem. In this paper we present an algorithm for solving semidefinite programs that exploits structure yet is not tailored a priori to any particular structure. It adapts a bundle method designed to solve structured LMI feasibility problems. Duality provides a tight lower bound for the optimal cost for use in a termination criterion. A numerical experiment demonstrates that the complexity is comparable to that of structured interior-point methods, and unlike those methods it applies to a general class of structures.

Efficient Solution Of Linear Matrix Inequalities For Integral Quadratic Constraints

Authors:

Anders Hansson, Lieven Vandenberghe,

Volume: 1, Page 5033 Paper number 9042

Abstract:

In this article is discussed how to implement an efficient interior-point algorithm for the semi-definite programs that result from integral quadratic constraints. The algorithm is a primal-dual potential reduction method, and the computational effort is dominated by a least-squares system that has to be solved in each iteration. The key to an efficient implementation is to utilize iterative methods and the specific structure of integral quadratic constraints. The algorithm has been implemented in Matlab. To give a rough idea of the efficiencies obtained, it is possible to solve problems resulting in a linear matrix inequality of dimension 130x130 with approximately 5000 variables in about 10 minutes on a lap-top. Problems with approximately 20000 variable and a linear matrix inequality of dimension 230x230 are solved in a few hours. It is not assumed that the system matrix has no eigenvalues on the imaginary axis, nor is it assumed that it is Hurwitz.

Fast Algorithms for Exact and Approximate Feasibility of Robust LMIs

Authors:

Giuseppe Calafiore, Boris T. Polyak,

Volume: 1, Page 5035 Paper number 1415

Abstract:

In this paper, we discuss fast randomized algorithms for determining an admissible solution for robust linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) of the form F(x,(Delta)) (preceq) 0, where x is the optimization variable and (Delta) is the uncertainty, which belongs to a given set (Delta). The proposed algorithm is based on uncertainty randomization: it finds a solution in a finite number of iterations with probability one, if a strong feasibility condition holds. Otherwise, it computes a candidate solution which minimizes the expected value of a suitably selected feasibility indicator function. The theory is illustrated by examples of application to uncertain linear inequalities and quadratic stability of interval matrices.

Convergent LMI Relaxations For Nonconvex Quadratic Programs

Authors:

Jean B. Lasserre,

Volume: 1, Page 5041 Paper number 1111

Abstract:

We consider the general nonconvex quadratic programming problem and provide a series of convex positive semidefinite programs (or LMI relaxations) whose sequence of optimal values is monotone and converges to the optimal value of the original problem. It improves and includes as a special case the well-known Shor's relaxation. Often the optimal value is obtained at some particular early relaxation as shown on some nontrivial test problems.
