Abstract

In this paper, we consider the following indefinite complex quadratic maximization problem: maximize zHQz, subject to zk ∈ ℂ and zkm = 1, k = 1,...,n, where Q is a Hermitian matrix with tr Q = 0, z ∈ ℂn is the decision vector, and m ≥ 3. An Ω(1/log n) approximation algorithm is presented for such problem. Furthermore, we consider the above problem where the objective matrix Q is in bilinear form, in which case a 0.7118(cos Π/m)2 approximation algorithm can be constructed. In the context of quadratic optimization, various extensions and connections of the model are discussed.
