报告内容:
Linear programming on the Stiefel manifold (LPS) is studied for the first time. It aims at minimizing a linear objective function over the set of all p-tuples of orthonormal vectors in R^n satisfying k additional linear constraints. Despite the classical polynomial-time solvable case k=0, general (LPS) is NP-hard. According to the Shapiro-Barvinok-Pataki theorem, (LPS) admits an exact semidefinite programming relaxation when p(p+1)/2<=n-k, which is tight when p=1. Surprisingly, we can greatly strengthen this sufficient exactness condition to p<=n-k, which covers the classical case p<=n and k=0. Regarding (LPS) as a smooth nonlinear programming problem,we reveal a nice property that under the linear independence constraint qualification, the standard first- and second-order local necessary optimality conditions are sufficient for global optimality when p+1<=n-k.
