Computing Tight Bounds for Insurance Payments with Nonlinear Risk Preliminaries of SDP

Semidefinite Programming

(SDP) inf C • X

s.t. Ai • X ≤ bi

∀i = 1, · · · , n X 0

where A • B := tr(ATB) whole matrix X is a variable

X 0 means X is a semidefinite matrix (all eigenvalues of X

are nonnegative) applications in engineering and finance any problem arriving at this form can be solved efficiently!
