When applying eigenvalue decomposition on the quadratic term matrix in a type of linear equally constrained quadratic programming (EQP), there exists a linear mapping to project optimal solutions between the new EQP formulation where $Q$ is diagonalized and the original formulation. Although such a mapping requires a particular type of equality constraints, it is generalizable to some real problems such as efficient frontier for portfolio allocation and classification of Least Square Support Vector Machines (LSSVM). The established mapping could be potentially useful to explore optimal solutions in subspace, but it is not very clear to the author. This work was inspired by similar work proved on unconstrained formulation discussed earlier in cite{Tan}, but its current proof is much improved and generalized. To the authors knowledge, very few similar discussion appears in literature.

This paper presents a novel deep learning based data-driven optimization method. A novel generative adversarial network (GAN) based data-driven distributionally robust chance constrained programming framework is proposed. GAN is applied to fully extract distributional information from historical data in a nonparametric and unsupervised way without a priori approximation or assumption. Since GAN utilizes deep neural networks, complicated data distributions and modes can be learned, and it can model uncertainty efficiently and accurately. Distributionally robust chance constrained programming takes into consideration ambiguous probability distributions of uncertain parameters. To tackle the computational challenges, sample average approximation method is adopted, and the required data samples are generated by GAN in an end-to-end way through the differentiable networks. The proposed framework is then applied to supply chain optimization under demand uncertainty. The applicability of the proposed approach is illustrated through a county-level case study of a spatially explicit biofuel supply chain in Illinois.
In this work, we propose a robust approach to design distributed controllers for unknown-but-sparse linear and time-invariant systems. By leveraging modern techniques in distributed controller synthesis and structured linear inverse problems as applied to system identification, we show that near-optimal distributed controllers can be learned with sub-linear sample complexity and computed with near-linear time complexity, both measured with respect to the dimension of the system. In particular, we provide sharp end-to-end guarantees on the stability and the performance of the designed distributed controller and prove that for sparse systems, the number of samples needed to guarantee robust and near optimal performance of the designed controller can be significantly smaller than the dimension of the system. Finally, we show that the proposed optimization problem can be solved to global optimality with near-linear time complexity by iteratively solving a series of small quadratic programs.
We study robust convex quadratic programs where the uncertain problem parameters can contain both continuous and integer components. Under the natural boundedness assumption on the uncertainty set, we show that the generic problems are amenable to exact copositive programming reformulations of polynomial size. These convex optimization problems are NP-hard but admit a conservative semidefinite programming (SDP) approximation that can be solved efficiently. We prove that the popular approximate S-lemma method --- which is valid only in the case of continuous uncertainty --- is weaker than our approximation. We also show that all results can be extended to the two-stage robust quadratic optimization setting if the problem has complete recourse. We assess the effectiveness of our proposed SDP reformulations and demonstrate their superiority over the state-of-the-art solution schemes on instances of least squares, project management, and multi-item newsvendor problems.
The coordinate descent (CD) method has recently become popular for solving very large-scale problems, partly due to its simple update, low memory requirement, and fast convergence. In this paper, we explore the greedy CD on solving non-negative quadratic programming (NQP). The greedy CD generally has much more expensive per-update complexity than its cyclic and randomized counterparts. However, on the NQP, these three CDs have almost the same per-update cost, while the greedy CD can have significantly faster overall convergence speed. We also apply the proposed greedy CD as a subroutine to solve linearly constrained NQP and the non-negative matrix factorization. Promising numerical results on both problems are observed on instances with synthetic data and also image data.
The theory of integral quadratic constraints (IQCs) allows the certification of exponential convergence of interconnected systems containing nonlinear or uncertain elements. In this work, we adapt the IQC theory to study first-order methods for smooth and strongly-monotone games and show how to design tailored quadratic constraints to get tight upper bounds of convergence rates. Using this framework, we recover the existing bound for the gradient method~(GD), derive sharper bounds for the proximal point method~(PPM) and optimistic gradient method~(OG), and provide emph{for the first time} a global convergence rate for the negative momentum method~(NM) with an iteration complexity $mathcal{O}(kappa^{1.5})$, which matches its known lower bound. In addition, for time-varying systems, we prove that the gradient method with optimal step size achieves the fastest provable worst-case convergence rate with quadratic Lyapunov functions. Finally, we further extend our analysis to stochastic games and study the impact of multiplicative noise on different algorithms. We show that it is impossible for an algorithm with one step of memory to achieve acceleration if it only queries the gradient once per batch (in contrast with the stochastic strongly-convex optimization setting, where such acceleration has been demonstrated). However, we exhibit an algorithm which achieves acceleration with two gradient queries per batch.
