Abstract

We investigate in this paper the duality gap between the binary quadratic optimization problem and its semidefinite programming relaxation. We show that the duality gap can be underestimated by $${\xi_{r+1}\delta^2}$$ , where 驴 is the distance between {驴1, 1} n and certain affine subspace, and 驴 r+1 is the smallest positive eigenvalue of a perturbed matrix. We also establish the connection between the computation of 驴 and the cell enumeration of hyperplane arrangement in discrete geometry.
