Common interface for SDP (Csdp or Moseksdp or Sdpa).
Primal-dual correspondence: the primal problem
max tr(C X)
tr(A_1 X) = b_1
.
.
.
tr(A_m X) = b_m
X psd
(X psd meaning X positive semi-definite) corresponds to the dual problem
min b^T y
\sum_i y_i A_i - C = Z psd
where C, A_i and X are symmetric matrices, C, A_i and b_i are parameters whereas X (resp. y) is the primal (resp. dual) variable.
Block diagonal sparse and dense symmetric matrices.
type sparse_matrix = (int * int * float) list
Matrices. Sparse representation as triplet (i, j, x)
meaning that the coefficient at line i
>= 0 and column j
>= 0 has value x
. All forgotten coefficients are assumed to be 0.0
. Since matrices are symmetric, only the lower triangular part (j <= i) must be given. No duplicates are allowed.
type matrix = float array array
Matrices. Dense representation, line by line. Must be symmetric. Type invariant: all lines have the same size.
type 'a block_diag = (int * 'a) list
Block diagonal matrices (sparse representation, forgetting null blocks). For instance, [(1, m1), (3, m2)]
will be transformed into [m1; 0; m2]
. No duplicates are allowed. There is no requirement for indices to be sorted.
SDP.
type options = {
solver : solver;
verbose : int;
verbosity level, non negative integer, 0 (default) means no output (only for SDPA* and Mosek)
max_iteration : int;
maxIteration (default: 100)
stop_criterion : float;
epsilonStar and epsilonDash (default: 1.0E-7)
initial : float;
lambdaStar (default: 1.0E2)
precision : int;
precision (only for SDPA-GMP, default: 200)
}
Options for calling SDP solvers (currently, options other than solver are only handled by Sdpa{,Gmp}).
Constraints (tr(A_i X) = b_i), Le (A_i, b_i)
means tr(A_i X) <= b_i and will automatically be translated internally as tr(A_i X) + s_i = b_i by adding slack variables s_i >= 0. Similarly Ge (A_i,
b_i)
means tr(A_i X) >= b_i and gives tr(A_i X) - s_i = b_i with s_i >= 0.
solve_sparse obj constraints
solves the SDP problem: max{ tr(obj X) | constraints, X psd }. If solver
is provided, it will supersed the solver given in options
. It returns both the primal and dual objective values and a witness for X (primal) and y and Z (dual). See above for details. There is no requirement for indices in obj
and A_i
to be present in every input. In case of success (or partial success), the block diagonal matrices returned for X and Z contain exactly the indices, sorted by increasing order, that appear in the objective or one of the constraints. Size of each diagonal block in X is the maximum size appearing for that block in the objective or one of the constraints. In case of success (or partial success), the array returned for y has the same size and same order than the input list of constraints.
Same as solve_sparse
with dense matrices as input. This can be more convenient for small problems. Otherwise, this is equivalent to solve_sparse
after conversion with matrix_to_sparse
. If an indice is present in one input, potential matrices for that indice in other inputs will be padded with 0 on right and bottom to have the same size.
Primal-dual correspondence: the primal problem
max c^T x + tr(C X)
b_1^- <= a_1^T x + tr(A_1 X) <= b_1^+
.
.
.
b_m^- <= a_m^T x + tr(A_m X) <= b_m^+
d_1^- <= x_1 <= d_1^+
.
.
.
d_n^- <= x_n <= d_n^+
X psd
(X psd meaning X positive semi-definite) corresponds to the dual problem
min (b^+)^T s^+ - (b^-)^T s^- + (d^+)^T t^+ - (d^-)^T t^-
y = s^+ - s^-
\sum_i y_i A_i - C = Z psd
[a_1,..., a_n] y - c + t^+ - t^- = 0
s^+, s^-, t^+, t^- >= 0
where C, A_i and X are symmetric matrices, C, A_i, a_i, b_i and d are parameters whereas x, X, y, s^+, s^-, t^+ and t^- are variables.
Note that the simple formulation on top is a particular case of this for n = 0 and b^- = b^+.
The bounds b_i^- and d_j^- (resp. b_i^+ and d_j^+) can be neg_infinity
(resp. infinity
), in which case, the corresponding s or t in the dual is 0 (and the corresponding term disappears from the dual objective).
type vector = (int * float) list
No duplicates are allowed.
Objective (vector c and matrix C).
Constraints. (a_i, A_i, b_i_m, b_i_p)
encodes the constraint b_i_m <= a_i^T x + tr(A_i X) <= b_i_p. b_i_m
can be neg_infinity
and b_i_p
can be infinity
.
type bounds = (int * float * float) list
Bounds on scalar variables. Each (i, lb, ub)
in the list encodes the constraint lb <= x_i <= ub. lb
can be neg_infinity
and ub
can be infinity
. No duplicated indices i are allowed.
solve_ext_sparse obj constraints bounds
solves the SDP problem: max{ obj | constraints, bounds, X psd }. If solver
is provided, it will supersed the solver given in options
. It returns both the primal and dual objective values and a witness for (x, X) (primal) and (y, Z) (dual). See above for details. Variables x_i not bounded in bounds
are assumed to be unbounded (i.e., bounded by neg_infinity
and infinity
). Bounds in bounds
about variables x_i not appearing in the objective or constraints may be ignored. There is no requirement for indices in obj
and a_i, A_i
to be present in every input. In case of success (or partial success), the vector (resp. block diagonal matrix) returned for x (resp. X, Z) contains exactly the indices, sorted by increasing order, that appear in the linear (resp. matrix) part of the objective or one of the constraints. Size of each diagonal block in X or Z is the maximum size appearing for that block in the objective or one of the constraints. In case of success (or partial success), the array returned for y has the same size and same order than the input list of constraints.
Same as solve_ext_sparse
with dense matrices as input. This can be more convenient for small problems. Otherwise, this is equivalent to solve_ext_sparse
after conversion with matrix_to_sparse
. If an indice is present in one input, potential matrices for that indice in other inputs will be padded with 0 on right and bottom to have the same size.

Miscellaneous functions.
val pfeas_stop_crit : ?options:options -> ?solver:solver -> float list -> float
pfeas_stop_crit (b_1,..., b_m)
returns eps
used as primal feasibility error stopping criteria by solver solver
on a problem with given b_i
(i.e., if the solver successfully terminates, |tr(A_i X) - b_i| <= eps should hold for each constraint i).
