An Output Space Branch-and-Bound Algorithm for Solving the Sum of Convex Quadratic-over-Linear Fractions Problem
摘要
This paper proposes an output space branch-and-bound algorithm for solving the sum of convex quadratic-over-linear fractions problem. Firstly, the original problem is equivalently transformed into a linear fractional programming problem (SDFP1) on the cone of positive semidefinite matrices based on semidefinite programming theory, where the non-convexity of SDFP1 arises from the non-convexity of its objective function. Leveraging the analytical properties of the objective function in SDFP1, a semidefinite relaxation programming problem is constructed for SDFP1. By integrating the branch-and-bound framework with the obtained theoretical results, a novel output space branch-and-bound algorithm is devised, with its convergence and complexity demonstrated in the paper. Numerical experiments illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
