Semidefinite Programming Relaxations in Timetabling
, 2011
"... This paper extends semidefinite programming relaxations of graph colouring to bounded graph colouring and extensions encountered in timetabling, where room sizes, room features, room stability, and pre-allocated assignments are considered. A matrix-free implementation of an augmented Lagrangian met ..."

Semidefinite Programming Relaxations for Semialgebraic Problems
, 2001
"... A hierarchy of convex relaxations for semialgebraic problems is introduced. For questions reducible to a finite number of polynomial equalities and inequalities, it is shown how to construct a complete family of polynomially sized semidefinite programming conditions that prove infeasibility. The mai ..."

Semidefinite Programming Relaxation
"... Today, we talk the use of Semidefinite Programming in the design of approximation algorithms. This technique was invented by Goemans and Williamson in 1995. It is because of this technique both of them won the Fulkerson Prize in 2000. I’ll talk about this technique in the context of the ..."

Semidefinite Programming Relaxation for the Independent Set Problem

Strengthened Semidefinite Programming Relaxations for the MAX-CUT Problem
"... In this paper we summarize recent results on finding tight semidefinite programming relaxations for the Max-Cut problem and hence tight upper bounds on its optimal value. Our results hold for every instance of Max-Cut and in particular we make no assumptions on the edge weights. We present two stren ..."

Semidefinite Programming Relaxations in Timetabling (Abstract)
- PATAT 2010
, 2010
"... Semidefinite programming has recently gained much attention as a powerful method for deriving both strong lower bounds and approximation algorithms in combinatorial optimisation. There have not been, however, any applications to timetabling. We show one reason to believe that this could well change ..."

On Linear and Semidefinite Programming Relaxations for Hypergraph Matching
"... The hypergraph matching problem is to find a largest collection of disjoint hyperedges in a hypergraph. This is a well-studied problem in combinatorial optimization and graph theory with various applications. The best known approximation algorithms for this problem are all local search algorithms. I ..."

. In this paper we analyze different linear and semidefinite programming relaxations for the hypergraph matching problem, and study their connections to the local search method. Our main results are the following: • We consider the standard linear programming relaxation of the problem. We provide an algorithmic
Convex Quadratic and Semidefinite Programming Relaxations in Scheduling

"... We consider the problem of scheduling unrelated parallel machines subject to release dates so as to minimize the total weighted completion time of jobs. The main contribution of this paper is a provably good convex quadratic programming relaxation of strongly polynomial size for this problem. The be ..."

An Improved Semidefinite Programming Relaxation for the Satisfiability Problem
, 2002
"... The satisfiability (SAT) problem is a central problem in mathematical logic, computing theory, and artificial intelligence. An instance of SAT is specified by a set of boolean variables and a propositional formula in conjunctive normal form. Given such an instance, the SAT problem asks whether there ..."
