Although these cones may seem to provide only limited expressive power they can be used to model a
wide range of problems as demonstrated in [2].
4.2.1 Duality for conic quadratic optimization
The dual problem corresponding to the conic quadratic optimization problem (4.6) is given by
maximize (l c ) T s c l − (u c ) T s c u + (l x ) T s x l − (u x ) T s x u + c f
subject to A T y + s x l − s x u + s x n = c,
− y + s c l − s c u = 0,
s c l , s c u, s x l , s x u ≥ 0,
s x n ∈ C ∗ ,
where the dual cone C ∗ is a Cartesian product of the cones
(4.7)
C ∗ = C ∗ 1× · · · ×C ∗ p,
where each C ∗ t is the dual cone of C t . For the cone types MOSEK can handle, the relation between the
primal and dual cone is given as follows:
• The R n set:
• The quadratic cone:
C t = R nt ⇔ C ∗ t = {s ∈ R nt : s = 0} .
