. Let F be a compact subset of the n-dimensional Euclidean space R n represented by (finitely or infinitely many) quadratic inequalities. We propose two methods, one based on successive semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxations and the other on successive linear programming (LP) relaxations. Each of our methods generates a sequence of compact convex subsets C k (k = 1, 2, . . . ) of R n such that (a) the convex hull of F # C k+1 # C k (monotonicity), (b) # # k=1 C k = the convex hull of F (asymptotic convergence). Our methods are extensions of the corresponding Lovasz--Schrijver lift-and-project procedures with the use of SDP or LP relaxation applied to general quadratic optimization problems (QOPs) with infinitely many quadratic inequality constraints. Utilizing descriptions of sets based on cones of matrices and their duals, we establish the exact equivalence of the SDP relaxation and the semiinfinite convex QOP relaxation proposed originally by Fujie and Kojima. Using th...

. Based on the authors' previous work which established theoretical foundations of two, conceptual, successive convex relaxation methods, i.e., the SSDP (Successive Semidefinite Programming) Relaxation Method and the SSILP (Successive Semi-Infinite Linear Programming) Relaxation Method, this paper proposes their implementable variants for general quadratic optimization problems. These problems have a linear objective function c T x to be maximized over a nonconvex compact feasible region F described by a finite number of quadratic inequalities. We introduce two new techniques, "discretization" and "localization," into the SSDP and SSILP Relaxation Methods. The discretization technique makes it possible to approximate an infinite number of semi-infinite SDPs (or semi-infinite LPs) which appeared at each iteration of the original methods by a finite number of standard SDPs (or standard LPs) with a finite number of linear inequality constraints. We establish: ffl Given any open convex ...
