Relationship of optimal solutions between the total function and the sub function

This is an unconstrained convex optimization problem. Let $\mathcal{N}=\left\{1,\ldots,n\right\}$, $2\leq n<\infty$. Suppose there are many strongly convex functions $f_i(x)$, where $x\in\mathbb{R}^...

How quickly can this IQP or its MILP relaxation be solved

Let $A\in\{0,1\}^{(n,n)}$ be a $n$ by $n$ boolean matrix (in particular think of an adjacency matrix of a graph), and consider the following optimization problem: $$\begin{align*}&&\max_{P\in\{...

The best unitary matrices that approximate a matrix product

Let $\mathbf{A}$ be an arbitrary $N\times N$ complex matrix. Moreover, $\mathcal{U}_1$ and $\mathcal{U}_2$ are distinct subsets of all unitary matrices. Suppose the matrices $\mathbf{U}_1$ and $\...

Notion of distance between linear programs

Consider the linear programming problem \begin{align} \max_{x}&~c^Tx \\~s.t.~~a^Tx &\leq B~,~0\leq x_i \le1 \end{align} where $c$ and $a$ are $n \times 1$ given non-negative vectors. $B$ is a ...

Can we reduce the maximization of this integral to the maximization of the integrand?

I would like to know whether we are able to reduce the following optimization problem to the pointwise optimization of the integrand (or how we can solve it otherwise): Maximize $$\sum_{i\in I}\sum_{j\...

How can we analytically solve this max-sum-min problem?

Let $I$ be a finite set, and $A_{ij},B_{ij},x_i,y_j\ge0$. I want to find the choice of $x_i,y_j$ maximizing $$\sum_{i\in I}\sum_{j\in J}A_{ij}\min\left(x_i,B_{ij}y_j\right)\tag1$$ subject to $$\sum_{i\...

Maximizing sum of homogeneous functions of order one over a polytope

Let $f_i: \mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be concave, increasing (i.e., if $x\geq y$ where the inequality is entry wise, we have $f_i(x)\geq f_i(y)$), and a homogeneous function of order one for ...

Finding orthogonal basis with constraint

Is there any fast algorithm that output an orthogonal basis $e_i,i\leq n$ of $R^n$ with $e_i\in V_i$? Where $V_i,i\leq n$ are given linear subspaces of $R^n$. And is there any condition on $V_i,i\leq ...
