43 MLPs: Comparison of linear/sdp cuts Question: Are cuts from SDP relaxations superior? Control the complexity of SDP cut generation At each iteration, project LP into the space of fractional variables Construct an SDP lifting with B 10 Generate disjunctive cut for each index in the set B Lift cut to the space of all variables One linear cut for each fractional variable: no cut lifting L1 normalization: cut generation is an LP L2 normalization: cut generation is an SOCP Did not focus on time. Why not? No dual simplex.
