Abstract

We study two relaxations for bilinear terms in box-constrained variables: the reformulation-linearization technique (RLT) relaxation and the SDP-RLT relaxation, which combines RLT with semidefinite programming (SDP). We represent the pattern of bilinear terms by an undirected graph, with one vertex for each variable and one edge for each bilinear term. A point feasible for the RLT relaxation fixes only part of the lifted matrix of the SDP-RLT relaxation, leaving the remaining entries to be chosen subject to the diagonal RLT inequalities, and the two relaxations differ exactly when these entrie
