A successive quadratic programming algorithm for sdp relaxation of the binary quadratic programming

摘要

In this paper, we obtain a successive quadratic programming algorithm for solving the semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation of the binary quadratic programming. Combining with a randomized method of Goemans and Williamson, it provides an efficient approximation for the binary quadratic programming. Furthermore, its convergence result is given. At last, We report some numerical examples to compare our method with the interior-point method on Maxcut problem.
