Abstract

In this paper, by improving the variable-splitting approach, we propose a new semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation for the nonconvex quadratic optimization problem over the ℓ1 unit ball (QPL1). It dominates the state-of-the-art SDP-based bound for (QPL1). As extensions, we apply the new approach to the relaxation problem of the sparse principal component analysis and the nonconvex quadratic optimization problem over the ℓp (1< p<2) unit ball and then show the dominance of the new relaxation.
