Abstract

General successive convex relaxation methods (SRCMs) can be used to compute the convex hull of any compact set, in an Euclidean space, described by a system of quadratic inequalities and a compact convex set. Linear complementarity problems (LCPs) make an interesting and rich class of structured nonconvex optimization problems. In this paper, we study a few of the specialized lift-and-project methods and some of the possible ways of applying the general SCRMs to LCPs and related problems.
