Linear programming with positive semi-definite matrices

<p>We consider the general linear programming problem over the cone of positive semi-definite matrices. We first provide a simple sufficient condition for existence of optimal solutions and absence of a duality gap without requiring existence of a strictly feasible solution. We then simply cha...
