semidef - semidefinite programming
[x,Z,ul,info]=semidef(x0,Z0,F,blck_szs,c,options) solves semidefinite program:
minimize c'*x
subject to F_0 + x_1*F_1 + ... + x_m*F_m >= 0
and its dual
maximize -Tr F_0 Z
subject to Tr F_i Z = c_i, i=1,...,m
Z >= 0
exploiting block structure in the matrices F_i.
It interfaces L. Vandenberghe and S. Boyd sp.c program.
The Fi's matrices are stored columnwise in F in compressed format: if F_i^j, i=0,..,m, j=1,...,L denote the jth (symmetric) diagonal block of F_i, then
[ pack(F_0^1) pack(F_1^1) ... pack(F_m^1) ]
[ pack(F_0^2) pack(F_1^2) ... pack(F_m^2) ]
F= [ ... ... ... ]
[ pack(F_0^L) pack(F_1^L) ... pack(F_m^L) ]
where pack(M), for symmetric M, is the vector [M(1,1);M(1,2);...;M(1,n);M(2,2);M(2,3);...;M(2,n);...;M(n,n)] (obtained by scanning columnwise the lower triangular part of M).
blck_szs gives the size of block j, ie, size(F_i^j)=blck_szs(j).
Z is a block diagonal matrix with L blocks Z^0, ..., Z^{L-1}. Z^j has size blck_szs[j] times blck_szs[j]. Every block is stored using packed storage of the lower triangular part.
The 2 vector ul contains the primal objective value c'*x and the dual objective value -Tr F_0*Z.
The entries of options are respectively: nu = a real parameter which ntrols the rate of convergence. abstol = absolute tolerance. reltol = relative tolerance (has a special meaning when negative). tv target value, only referenced if reltol < 0. iters = on entry: maximum number of iterations >= 0, on exit: the number of iterations taken.
info returns 1 if maxiters exceeded, 2 if absolute accuracy is reached, 3 if relative accuracy is reached, 4 if target value is reached, 5 if target value is not achievable; negative values indicate errors.
Convergence criterion:
(1) maxiters is exceeded
(2) duality gap is less than abstol
(3) primal and dual objective are both positive and
duality gap is less than (reltol * dual objective)
or primal and dual objective are both negative and
duality gap is less than (reltol * minus the primal objective)
(4) reltol is negative and
primal objective is less than tv or dual objective is greater
than tv
