Details and Options

  • Second-order cone optimization is also known as second-order cone programming (SOCP) and mixed-integer second-order cone programming (MISOCP).
  • Second-order cone optimization is used in problems such as parameter fitting and geometric distance problems.
  • Second-order cone optimization is a convex optimization problem that can be solved globally and efficiently with real, integer or complex variables.
  • Second-order cone optimization finds that solves the primal problem:
  • minimize
    subject to constraintsTemplateBox[{{{{a, _, i}, ., x}, +, {b, _, i}}}, Norm]<=alpha_i.x+beta_i, i=1,..., k
    where
  • Mixed-integer second-order cone optimization finds and that solve the problem:
  • minimize
    subject to constraintsTemplateBox[{{{{a, _, {(, {j, _, r}, )}}, ., x}, +, {{a, _, {(, {j, _, r}, )}}, ., {yb, _, j}}}}, Norm]<=alpha_(j_r).x+alpha_(j_i).y+beta_j, j=1,..., k
    where
  • When the objective function is real valued, SecondOrderConeOptimization solves problems with x in TemplateBox[{}, Complexes]^n by internally converting to real variables , where and .
  • The variable specification vars should be a list with elements giving variables in one of the following forms:
  • vvariable with name and dimensions inferred
    vRealsreal scalar variable
    vIntegersinteger scalar variable
    vComplexescomplex scalar variable
    vvector variable restricted to the geometric region
    vVectors[n,dom]vector variable in or
    vMatrices[{m,n},dom]matrix variable in or
  • Note that linear constraints may be expressed using second-order constraints. For convenience, a single 0 is interpreted as needed as a matrix or vector with zero entries:
  • {ai,bi,0,0}linear equality constraints
    {0,0,αi,βi}linear inequality constraint
  • The constraints cons can be specified by:
  • LessEqualscalar inequality
    GreaterEqualscalar inequality
    VectorLessEqualvector inequality
    VectorGreaterEqualvector inequality
    Equalscalar or vector equality
    Elementconvex domain or region element
  • With SecondOrderConeOptimization[f,cons,vars], parameter equations of the form parval, where par is not in vars and val is numerical or an array with numerical values, may be included in the constraints to define parameters used in f or cons.
  • The primal minimization problem has a related maximization problem that is the Lagrangian dual problem. The dual maximum value is always less than or equal to the primal minimum value, so it provides a lower bound. The dual maximizer provides information about the primal problem, including sensitivity of the minimum value to changes in the constraints.
  • The second-order cone optimization has a dual: » »
  • maximize
    subject to constraintssum_(i=1)^k(a_i.y_i+alpha_ilambda_i)⩵c, ; TemplateBox[{{y, _, i}}, Norm]<=lambda_i, i=1,..., k
    where
  • For second-order cone optimization, strong duality always holds, meaning that if there is a solution to the primal minimization problem, then there is a solution to the dual maximization problem, and the dual maximum value is equal to the primal minimum value.

  • "PrimalMinimizer"a list of variable values that minimizes the objective function
