Title
A New Polynomially Solvable Class Of Quadratic Optimization Problems With Box Constraints
Abstract
We consider the quadratic optimization problem max(x is an element of C) x(T)Qx + q(T)x, where C subset of R-n is a box and r := rank(Q) is assumed to be O(1) (i.e., fixed). We show that this case can be solved in polynomial time for an arbitrary Q and q. The idea is based on a reduction of the problem to enumeration of faces of a certain zonotope in dimension O(r). This paper generalizes previous results where Q had been assumed to be positive semidefinite and no linear term was allowed in the objective function. Positive definiteness was a strong restriction and it is now relaxed. Generally, the problem is NP-hard; this paper describes a new polynomially solvable class of instances, larger than those known previously.
