关于一对二次函数水平集的分离性

On Separation of level sets for a pair of quadratic functions

Huu-Quang Nguyen, Ya-Chi Chu, Ruey-Lin Sheu

摘要:

给定一个二次函数$f(x)=x^TAx+2a^Tx+a_0,$,它的水平集$\{x\in\mathbb{R}^n: f(x)=0\}$可能有两个连通分支,因而可以被另一个二次函数$g(x)=x^TBx+2b^Tx+b_0.$的水平集$\{x\in\mathbb{R}^n: g(x)=0\}$分离。这类分离性质在二次最优化问题中有重要意义,值得深入研究。本文利用充要条件对分离性进行了解析刻画,为解决最优化问题提供了一种新的工具。

英文摘要:

Given a quadratic function $f(x)=x^TAx+2a^Tx+a_0,$ it is possible that its level set $\{x\in\mathbb{R}^n: f(x)=0\}$ has two connected components and thus can be separated by the level set $\{x\in\mathbb{R}^n: g(x)=0\}$ of another quadratic function $g(x)=x^TBx+2b^Tx+b_0.$ It turns out that the separation property of such kind has great implication in quadratic optimization problems and thus deserves careful studies. In this paper, we characterize the separation property analytically by necessary and sufficient conditions as a new tool to solving optimization problems.
