Abstract

In this (self-contained) lecture, I will explain the Arora-Kale's approach for approximately solving a class of SDP's using the matrix extension of the multiplicative weights updates method:


http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~arora/pubs/mmw.pdf

The main result is that for classes of SDP's, such as the ones arising in approximating MAXCUT, the multiplicative weights updates method can be used to give much faster algorithms than those obtained using interior-point methods.
