NAME
csdp - semidefinite program solver
SYNOPSIS
csdp <problemfile> <finalsolution> <initialsolution>
csdp-complement <inputgraph> <outputgraph>

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.
