Global Quadratic Optimization Via Conic Relaxation.
Nesterov, Y. - Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE), … - 1998
We present a convex conic relaxation for a problem of maximising an indefinite quadratic form over a set of convex constraints on the squared variables. We show that for all these problems we get at least 12/37 relative accuracy of the approximation. In the second part of the paper we derive the...
