Section 9 -- Canonical SDP strong-duality preliminaries #

This module contains the feasibility, compactness, closedness, and objective-continuity lemmas used in the finite-dimensional strong-duality argument for the canonical matrix SDP.

References #

The canonical primal SDP has a feasible point, supplied by the explicit strict primal submeasurement.

A PSD canonical primal variable is norm-controlled by the real trace of its constraint image.

A feasible canonical primal matrix has trace equal to the base Hilbert-space dimension.

Feasible canonical primal matrices have uniformly bounded elementwise norm.

The feasible set of the canonical primal SDP is bounded in the elementwise matrix norm.

        A canonical block-diagonal operator is Hermitian when all diagonal blocks are Hermitian.

        The canonical dual block operator is Hermitian when the paper dual matrix is Hermitian.

        The canonical objective block operator is Hermitian.

        The canonical dual slack block operator is Hermitian when the paper dual matrix is Hermitian.

        The canonical dual block trace pairing equals the paper dual trace pairing against the canonical constraint image.

        The canonical equality-constraint image of a positive canonical primal matrix is positive semidefinite.

        The canonical equality-constraint image of a positive canonical primal matrix is Hermitian.

        A trace-pairing separator against every positive semidefinite canonical primal matrix can be converted into the paper-form dual feasibility inequalities.

        This is a separator-conversion lemma for the later zero-gap argument, not the strong-duality theorem itself.

        The paper-form canonical dual feasible set is closed.

        The paper-form canonical dual objective is continuous.

        The paper-form canonical dual objective attains its minimum on the feasible set.
