NAME

       csdp - semidefinite program solver

SYNOPSIS

       csdp <problemfile> <finalsolution> <initialsolution>
       csdp-complement <inputgraph> <outputgraph>
       csdp-graphtoprob <graph> <problemfile>

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly  the csdp, csdp-complement, csdp-graphtoprob, csdp-
       randgraph and csdp-theta commands.

       csdp -- interface to solve general semi-definite programs
       csdp-complement -- compute the complement of a graph and output it in csdp problem format
       csdp-graphtoprob -- convert graph into csdp problem format file
       csdp-randgraph -- generate a random graph
       csdp-theta -- solves the Lovasz thetha problem

OPTIONS

       A  summary  of  options  is   included   below.    For   a   complete   description,   see
       /usr/share/doc/coinor-csdp-doc/csdpuser.pdf.

       csdp
              inputproblem in the SDPA sparse format

       problemfile
              is the name of a file containing the SDP problem in SDPA sparse format

       finalsolution
              is the optional name of a file in which to save the final solution

       initialsolution
              is the optional name of a file from which to take the initial solution.

       CSDP  searches  for  a  file  named  param.csdp  in the current directory. If no such file
       exists, then default values for all of CSDP’s parameters are used. If there is a parameter
       file,  then  CSDP reads the parameter values from this file.  The default parameter values
       is given below (can be pasted into a file):

       axtol=1.0e-8
       atytol=1.0e-8
       objtol=1.0e-8
       pinftol=1.0e8
       dinftol=1.0e8
       maxiter=100
       minstepfrac=0.90
       maxstepfrac=0.97
       minstepp=1.0e-8
       minstepd=1.0e-8
       usexzgap=1
       tweakgap=0
       affine=0
       printlevel=1
       perturbobj=1
       fastmode=0

       param.csdp file parameter description

       axtol  atytol objtol tolerances for primal feasibility,  dual  feasibility,  and  relative
              duality gap

       pinftol
              dinftol tolerances used in determining primal and dual infeasibility

       maxiter
              plimit the total number of iterations that CSDP may use

       minstepfrac
              maxstepfrac  determine how close to the edge of the feasible region CSDP will step.
              If the primal or dual step is shorter than minstepp or minstepd, then CSDP declares
              a  line  search failure.  usexzgap If parameter 0, then CSDP will use the objective
              function duality gap instead of the tr(XZ) gap

       tweakgap
              if set to 1, and usexzgap is set to 0, then CSDP will  attempt  to  "fix"  negative
              duality gaps.

       affine If  parameter affine is set to 1, then CSDP will take only primal–dual affine steps
              and not make use of the barrier term. This can be useful for some problems that  do
              not  have  feasible  solutions  that  are  strictly  in the interior of the cone of
              semidefinite ma- trices.  printlevel determines how much debugging  information  is
              output.  Use printlevel=0 for no output and printlevel=1 for normal output.  Higher
              values of printlevel will generate more debugging output.

       perturbobj
              determines whether the objective function will  be  perturbed  to  help  deal  with
              problems  that have unbounded optimal solution sets. If per- turbobj is 0, then the
              objective will not be perturbed. If perturbobj=1, then the objective function  will
              be perturbed by a default amount. Larger values of perturbobj (e.g. 100.0) increase
              the size of the perturbation.  This  can  be  helpful  in  solving  some  difficult
              problems.

       fastmode
              determines  whether  or  not  CSDP will skip certain time consuming operations that
              slightly improve the accuracy of the solutions. If fastmode is set to 1, then  CSDP
              may be somewhat faster, but also somewhat less accurate.

       The programs are documented fully in the accompanying .pdf  documentation
              which can be found in /usr/share/doc/coinor-csdp-doc if the coinor-csdp-doc package
              is installed.
