Abstract: . Consider the diagonal entries d j , j = 1, 2, . . . , n, of the matrix D in an LDL T factorization of an n n matrix X . As a function of X , each d j is well-defined on the closed domain of positive semidefinite matrices. We show that these functions are twice continuously differentiable and concave throughout the interior of this domain. Using these facts, we show how to formulate semidefinite programming problems as standard convex optimization problems that can be solved using an... (Update)

.... 11, 12] who formulate (SDP ) as nonconvex programming problems using low rank factorizations of the primal matrix X, and Vanderbei et al. [43]. Finally we must mention that Burer et al. [13, 14] have come up with attractive heuristics for max cut and maximum stable set problems,...

...exploit the bound on the rank of optimal matrix X in ensuring that X = V V T , where V is a n r matrix for some small r. Vanderbei et al. [43] factor the primal matrix X as LDiag(d)L T , where L is unit triangular and d # IR n . The constraint that X # 0 is replaced with the...
