Sequential convexification basics (v2: reversed disjunction as a conjunction)

disjunctive-programmingsequential-convexification

Same vocabulary as Disjunctive_SequentialConvex_Basic (F0F_0F0​, halfspaces, the conjunctive-normal-form constraint set FFF, faciality, Dj:=⋃i∈Qj{x:dix≥di0}D_j := \bigcup_{i\in Q_j}\{x : d_i x \ge d_{i0}\}Dj​:=⋃i∈Qj​​{x:di​x≥di0​}), with one correction: Dˉj:={x:dix≤di0, i∈Qj}=⋂i∈Qj{x:dix≤di0}\bar D_j := \{x : d_i x \le d_{i0},\ i \in Q_j\} = \bigcap_{i \in Q_j}\{x : d_i x \le d_{i0}\}Dˉj​:={x:di​x≤di0​, i∈Qj​}=⋂i∈Qj​​{x:di​x≤di0​}, the polyhedron obtained by reversing every inequality of DjD_jDj​; it is the closure of Rn∖Dj\mathbb{R}^n \setminus D_jRn∖Dj​, so its relative boundary is where segments from outside DjD_jDj​ enter DjD_jDj​.

Formalization Note. Version 1 took the union of the reversed halfspaces, which made Theorem 3.3 false (terms x≥0x\ge 0x≥0, x≥1x \ge 1x≥1: the union is (−∞,1](-\infty,1](−∞,1], whereas the boundary relevant to Dj=[0,∞)D_j = [0,\infty)Dj​=[0,∞) is {0}\{0\}{0}). All other declarations are unchanged and keep their names.

/-- The polyhedron `{x : A x ≥ b}` (restated locally, as in earlier chunks of the series). -/
def Poly {m n : ℕ} (A : Matrix (Fin m) (Fin n) ℝ) (b : Fin m → ℝ) : Set (Fin n → ℝ) :=
  {x | ∀ i, b i ≤ (A.mulVec x) i}

/-- `F₀ := {x ∈ ℝⁿ : Ax ≥ b, x ≥ 0}` (Balas §3.1, p. 42). -/
def F0Set {m n : ℕ} (A : Matrix (Fin m) (Fin n) ℝ) (b : Fin m → ℝ) : Set (Fin n → ℝ) :=
  {x | (∀ i, b i ≤ (A.mulVec x) i) ∧ 0 ≤ x}

/-- The halfspaces `{x : dx ≤ d₀}` and `{x : dx ≥ d₀}` (Balas §3.1-3.2, used throughout). -/
def HalfspaceLE {n : ℕ} (d : Fin n → ℝ) (d0 : ℝ) : Set (Fin n → ℝ) := {x | dotProduct d x ≤ d0}

def HalfspaceGE {n : ℕ} (d : Fin n → ℝ) (d0 : ℝ) : Set (Fin n → ℝ) := {x | d0 ≤ dotProduct d x}

/-- The constraint set `F` of a disjunctive program `DP` in conjunctive normal form (Balas §3,
eq. (3.1), p. 42): `F₀` together with, for every `j ∈ S`, a disjunction `⋁_{i ∈ Q_j} (d_i x ≥
d_{i0})`. -/
def DisjunctiveConstraintSet {n : ℕ} {m : ℕ} (A : Matrix (Fin m) (Fin n) ℝ) (b : Fin m → ℝ)
    {S : Type*} [Fintype S] (Qidx : S → Type*) [∀ j, Fintype (Qidx j)]
    (d : (j : S) → Qidx j → Fin n → ℝ) (d0 : (j : S) → Qidx j → ℝ) : Set (Fin n → ℝ) :=
  {x | x ∈ F0Set A b ∧ ∀ j : S, ∃ i : Qidx j, d0 j i ≤ dotProduct (d j i) x}

/-- `DP` is facial (Balas §3.1, p. 42): every inequality `d_i x ≥ d_{i0}` appearing in a
disjunction of `(3.1)` defines a face of `F₀`. -/
def Facial {n : ℕ} {m : ℕ} (A : Matrix (Fin m) (Fin n) ℝ) (b : Fin m → ℝ) {S : Type*}
    [Fintype S] (Qidx : S → Type*) [∀ j, Fintype (Qidx j)] (d : (j : S) → Qidx j → Fin n → ℝ)
    (d0 : (j : S) → Qidx j → ℝ) : Prop :=
  ∀ j : S, ∀ i : Qidx j, IsExtreme ℝ (F0Set A b) (F0Set A b ∩ HalfspaceGE (d j i) (d0 j i))

/-- `D_j := ⋁_{i ∈ Q_j} (d_i x ≥ d_{i0})` (Balas §3.2, p. 46, right before eq. (3.5)). -/
def Dj {n : ℕ} {Qj : Type*} [Fintype Qj] (d : Qj → Fin n → ℝ) (d0 : Qj → ℝ) : Set (Fin n → ℝ) :=
  ⋃ i : Qj, HalfspaceGE (d i) (d0 i)

/-- `D̄_j`, the "reverse" of the disjunction `D_j` (Balas §3.2, p. 46, right before Theorem 3.3):
the closed convex polyhedron `{x : d_i x ≤ d_{i0}, i ∈ Q_j}` obtained by reversing every
inequality of `D_j`. It is the closure of the complement of `D_j` (`x ∉ D_j` iff `d_i x < d_{i0}`
for all `i`), so its (relative) boundary is exactly where a segment leaving `ℝⁿ \ D_j` enters
`D_j`; this is the convex set `C_j` of the reverse-convex reading `x ∉ int C_j` of the
disjunction (Balas, Tama and Tind 1989).

Version 2: the earlier version took the *union* `⋃_i {x : d_i x ≤ d_{i0}}`, whose boundary need
not contain the boundary of `D_j`, which made Theorem 3.3 false (two terms `x ≥ 0 ∨ x ≥ 1` in
`ℝ`: the union is `(-∞,1]`, while the boundary crossed by segments into `D_j = [0,∞)` is `{0}`).
The reversed system is the *conjunction* of the reversed inequalities. -/
def Dbarj {n : ℕ} {Qj : Type*} [Fintype Qj] (d : Qj → Fin n → ℝ) (d0 : Qj → ℝ) :
    Set (Fin n → ℝ) :=
  ⋂ i : Qj, HalfspaceLE (d i) (d0 i)

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
