Section 9 — Canonical matrix SDP witnesses #

This module contains the optimal-witness structures extracted from the canonical matrix SDP. The preceding canonical module proves the block-diagonal algebra, including the dual slack identities and saturation of the slack block. This file records the paper-form optimal pair and the measurement witnesses used by the self-improvement comparison.

Matrix-level witness for an optimal SDP pair.

Instances For

    Matrix-level statement of the strong-duality output for the SDP.

    This is the concrete matrix analogue of SdpStatementWithSlackness: it does not assert that the explicit strict feasible witnesses are optimal. Instead it records the kind of optimal witness obtained from the paper's Slater/strong-duality argument. The feasible primal variables in the canonical SDP remain submeasurements; this statement stores the selected saturated optimal witness as a complete matrix measurement.

    Grounded by: #1230.

    Instances For

      The dual operator in an optimal matrix SDP witness is positive semidefinite. This follows from dual feasibility, because the averaged point operators are positive.

      The stored complementary-slackness equation, expressed through the named matrix-level predicate.

      A matrix strong-duality statement gives a complete primal measurement, a dual operator, dual feasibility, equality of objective values, and the complementary-slackness equations in the displayed T_g Z = T_g A_g form.
