Abstract

The standard quadratic optimization problem (StQP) consists of minimizing a quadratic form over the standard simplex. If the quadratic form is neither convex nor concave, the StQP is NP-hard. This problem has many relevant real-world applications ranging from portfolio optimization to machine learning.
To accommodate uncertainty in the data matrix, we present a model with known distribution of the data matrix where both the StQP after realization, and the here-and-now problem are indefinite. Similarly to some robust formulations of uncertain StQPs, it turns out that a chance-constrained epigraphic StQP is in fact equivalent to a deterministic (possibly non-convex) StQP. We test the performance of a chance-constrained epigraphic StQP to the uncertain StQP by simulation.
