Convex relaxations of the maximin dispersion problem

Recently, convex relaxations have achieved notable success in solving NP-hard optimization problems. This thesis studies semidefinite and second-order cone programming convex relaxations of the maximin dispersion problem. Providing nontrivial approximation bounds, we believe that our SDP and SOCP r...
