Improved semidefinite programming bounds for the maximum -colorable subgraph problem

Mathijs Barkel, Renata Sotirov

We study the maximum -colorable subgraph (MCS) problem, which consists in finding a largest -colorable induced subgraph in a given graph. We consider a Semidefinite Progra…

Beyond binarity: Semidefinite programming for ternary quadratic problems

Frank de Meijer, Veronica Piccialli, Renata Sotirov +1

We study the ternary quadratic problem (TQP), a quadratic optimization problem with linear constraints where the variables take values in . While semidefinite program…

Spanning and Splitting: Integer Semidefinite Programming for the Quadratic Minimum Spanning Tree Problem

Frank de Meijer, Melanie Siebenhofer, Renata Sotirov +1

In the quadratic minimum spanning tree problem (QMSTP) one wants to find the minimizer of a quadratic function over all possible spanning trees of a graph. We present a formulation…

Exploiting Symmetries in Optimal Quantum Circuit Design

Frank de Meijer, Dion Gijswijt, Renata Sotirov

A physical limitation in quantum circuit design is the fact that gates in a quantum system can only act on qubits that are physically adjacent in the architecture. To overcome this…

Lagrangian Duality for Mixed-Integer Semidefinite Programming: Theory and Algorithms

Frank de Meijer, Renata Sotirov

This paper presents the Lagrangian duality theory for mixed-integer semidefinite programming (MISDP). We derive the Lagrangian dual problem and prove that the resulting Lagrangian…

SDP bounds on the stability number via ADMM and intermediate levels of the Lasserre hierarchy

Lennart Sinjorgo, Renata Sotirov, Juan C. Vera

We consider the Lasserre hierarchy for computing bounds on the stability number of graphs. The semidefinite programs (SDPs) arising from this hierarchy involve large matrix variabl…
