A Unified Theorem on SDP Rank Reduction

Abstract: We consider the problem of finding a low-rank approximate solution to a system of linear equations in symmetric, positive semidefinite matrices, where the approximation quality of a solution is measured by its maximum relative deviation, both above and below, from the prescribed quantities. We show that a simple randomized polynomialtime procedure produces a low-rank solution that has provably good approximation qualities. Our result provides a unified treatment of and generalizes several well-known results in… Show more

“…In other words, the average performance can be much better than the stated worst-case bounds for randomly generated instances. Recently, So et al [11] developed methods for finding approximate low rank solutions for linear matrix inequalities. Their results unify the approximation bounds of Nemirovski et al [9] and Luo et al [8] as special cases (rank being 1), when all the data matrices are positive semidefinite.…”

“…So solving Problem 2 amounts to finding a sparse solution to this SDP. Here "sparse" means that there are few non-zero entries in the solution y; this differs from other notions of "low-complexity" SDP solutions, such as the low-rank solutions studied by So, Ye and Zhang [36].…”

“…Through a simple randomized polynomial-time procedure proposed by AMC So et al [14], we can extract a feasible solution of (QTTP) from the optimal solution of its SDP relaxation. And the approximation ratio is Ω( 1 log m ) or Ω( 1 √ log m ) which depends on the magnitude of n 2 .…”
