Abstract

Under (finitely many) uncertain scenarios, min-max regret for (possibly nonconvex) Standard QPs can be reduced to a min-max QCQP.
En route to narrowing the gap between powerful conic lower bounds and efficient upper bounds, i.e. good feasible values, we will study
the apparently novel notion of *Shor convexity* (not to be confused with the well-known notion of Schur convexity) suggested by lifting techniques,
and discuss possibilities to use bundle methods for tightening upper bounds. A generalization of the famous Jensen's inequality will be proved as well.
