Quadratically constrained quadratic programs, denoted Q2 p, are an important modelling tool, eg: for hard combinatorial optimization problems, Chapter 12; and SQP methods in nonlinear programming, Chapter 20. These problems are too hard to solve in general. Therefore, relaxations such as the Lagrangian relaxation are used. The dual of the Lagrangian relaxation is the SDP relaxation. Thus SDP has enabled us to efficiently solve the Lagrangian relaxation and find good approximate solutions for these hard, possibly nonconvex, Q2p. This area has generated a lot of research recently. This has resulted in many strong and elegant theorems that describe the strength/performance of the bounds obtained from solving relaxations of these Q2p. For the simple Q2Pcase of one quadratic constraint (the trust region subproblem) strong duality holds, even though both the objective function and constraint may be nonconvex, Le. there is a zero duality gap and the dual is attained. In addition, necessary and sufficient (strengthened) second order optimality conditions and efficient algorithms exist. However, these nice duality results already fail for the two trust region subproblem (CDT problem).
