Abstract

In this paper, we deal with exact semidefinite programming (SDP) reformulations for a class of adjustable robust quadratic optimization problems with affine decision rules. By virtue of a special semidefinite representation of the non-negativity of separable non-convex quadratic functions on box uncertain sets, we establish an exact SDP reformulation for this adjustable robust quadratic optimization problem on spectrahedral uncertain sets. Note that the spectrahedral uncertain set contains commonly used uncertain sets, such as ellipsoids, polytopes, and boxes. As special cases, we also establish exact SDP reformulations for this adjustable robust quadratic optimization problems when the uncertain sets are ellipsoids, polytopes, and boxes, respectively. As applications, we establish the corresponding results for fractionally adjustable robust quadratic optimization problems.
