Almost all webs are not rank-perfect
Graphs with circular symmetry, called webs, are relevant w.r.t. describing the stable set polytopes of two larger graph classes, quasi-line graphs [8,12] and claw-free graphs [7,8]...

Minimizing Polynomials via Sum of Squares over the Gradient Ideal
A method is proposed for finding the global minimum of a multivariate polynomial via sum of squares (SOS) relaxation over its gradient variety. That variety consists of all points ...

On the gap between the quadratic integer programming problem and its semidefinite relaxation
Consider the semidefinite relaxation (SDR) of the quadratic integer program (QIP): := maxx{-1,1}n xT Qx minD-Q 0 trace(D) =:
