PositiveSemidefiniteConstraint ( int rows )

explicit

Impose the constraint that a symmetric matrix with size rows x rows is positive semidefinite.

See also: MathematicalProgram::AddPositiveSemidefiniteConstraint() for how to use this constraint on some decision variables. We currently use this constraint as a place holder in MathematicalProgram, to indicate the positive semidefiniteness of some decision variables.

Parameters

rows	The number of rows (and columns) of the symmetric matrix.

Example:

// Create a MathematicalProgram object.
auto prog = MathematicalProgram();
// Add a 2 x 2 symmetric matrix S to optimization program as new decision
// variables.
auto S = prog.NewSymmetricContinuousVariables<2>("S");
// Impose a positive semidefinite constraint on S.
std::shared_ptr<PositiveSemidefiniteConstraint> psd_constraint =
    prog.AddPositiveSemidefiniteConstraint(S);
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Add more constraints to make the program more interesting,
// but this is not needed.
// Add the constraint that S(1, 0) = 1.
prog.AddBoundingBoxConstraint(1, 1, S(1, 0));
// Minimize S(0, 0) + S(1, 1).
prog.AddLinearCost(Eigen::RowVector2d(1, 1), {S.diagonal()});
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Now solve the program.
auto result = Solve(prog);
// Retrieve the solution of matrix S.
auto S_value = GetSolution(S, result);
// Compute the eigen values of the solution, to see if they are
// all non-negative.
Eigen::Vector4d S_stacked;
S_stacked << S_value.col(0), S_value.col(1);
Eigen::VectorXd S_eigen_values;
psd_constraint->Eval(S_stacked, S_eigen_values);
std::cout<<"S solution is: " << S << std::endl;
std::cout<<"The eigen value of S is " << S_eigen_values << std::endl;
