Lifts of Non-compact Convex Sets and Cone Factorizations

In this paper we generalize the factorization theorem of Gouveia, Parrilo and Thomas to a broader class of convex sets. Given a general convex set, we define a slack operator associated to the set and its polar according to whether the convex set is full dimensional, whether it is a translated cone and whether it contains lines. We strengthen the condition of a cone lift by requiring not only the convex set is the image of an affine slice of a given closed convex cone, but also its recession cone is the image of the linear slice of the closed convex cone. We show that the generalized lift of a…

Approximate cone factorizations and lifts of polytopes

In this paper we show how to construct inner and outer convex approximations of a polytope from an approximate cone factorization of its slack matrix. This provides a robust generalization of the famous result of Yannakakis that polyhedral lifts of a polytope are controlled by (exact) nonnegative factorizations of its slack matrix. Our approximations behave well under polarity and have efficient representations using second order cones. We establish a direct relationship between the quality of the factorization and the quality of the approximations, and our results extend to generalized slack …

Lifts of convex sets and cone factorizations

In this paper we address the basic geometric question of when a given convex set is the image under a linear map of an affine slice of a given closed convex cone. Such a representation or 'lift' of the convex set is especially useful if the cone admits an efficient algorithm for linear optimization over its affine slices. We show that the existence of a lift of a convex set to a cone is equivalent to the existence of a factorization of an operator associated to the set and its polar via elements in the cone and its dual. This generalizes a theorem of Yannakakis that established a connection be…

Multiplicative updates for symmetric-cone factorizations

Given a matrix $X\in \mathbb{R}^{m\times n}_+$ with non-negative entries, the cone factorization problem over a cone $\mathcal{K}\subseteq \mathbb{R}^k$ concerns computing $\{ a_1,\ldots, a_{m} \} \subseteq \mathcal{K}$ and $\{ b_1,\ldots, b_{n} \} \subseteq~\mathcal{K}^*$ belonging to its dual so that $X_{ij} = \langle a_i, b_j \rangle$ for all $i\in [m], j\in [n]$. Cone factorizations are fundamental to mathematical optimization as they allow us to express convex bodies as feasible regions of linear conic programs. In this paper, we introduce and analyze the symmetric-cone multiplicative upd…

The cone of $5\times 5$ completely positive matrices

We study the cone of completely positive (cp) matrices for the first interesting case $n = 5$. This is a semialgebraic set, which means that the polynomial equalities and inequlities that define its boundary can be derived. We characterize the different loci of this boundary and we examine the two open sets with cp-rank 5 or 6. A numerical algorithm is presented that is fast and able to compute the cp-factorization even for matrices in the boundary. With our results, many new example cases can be produced and several insightful numerical experiments are performed that illustrate the difficulty…
