| 标题： Exact and Approximate Solutions for Quadratic Constrained Quadratic Problems and Their Applications in Passive Source Localization | |
| 摘要： In the past decades, QCQP has become an important class of optimization problems that arise in various science and engineering fields. For a general non-convex QCQP problem, even establishing (in)feasibility is NP-Hard. A popular polynomial-time approximation strategy for obtaining a sub-optimal solution is the semidefinite relaxation (SDR) strategy. We found that QCQP with only one quadratic constraint possesses hidden convexity and exact solution could be obtained in polynomial time. For the QCQP with more than one quadratic constraint, we proposed an iterative approximate method which performs a linearization procedure on the quadratic constraints that can be analytically solved. Theoretical analysis reveals that the proposed method converges to the global optimal solution if it converges. Our methods can be applied in passive source localization with time difference of arrival (TDOA) measurements and frequency difference of arrival (FDOA) measurements, and the localization accuracy is significantly improved over the previous methods with much less computation time requirement. | |
