Semidefinite programming (SDP) is a subfield of convex optimization concerned with the optimization of a linear objective function over the intersection of the cone of positive semidefinite matrices with an affine space.

  • Context:
    • It is an optimization problem of the form:

Minimize [math]\displaystyle{ C.X \\ }[/math]

such that [math]\displaystyle{ A_i X=b_i,i=1,\dots,m \\ X \geq 0 }[/math]

where [math]\displaystyle{ C }[/math] is a symmetric matrix.The objective function is the linear function [math]\displaystyle{ C.X }[/math] and there are m linear equations that X must satisfy, namely [math]\displaystyle{ A_i X = b_i,i =1,...,m. }[/math]
