Abstract
We prove that every semidefinite moment relaxation of a polynomial optimization problem (POP) with a ball constraint can be reformulated as a semidefinite program involving a matrix with constant trace property (CTP). As a result, such moment relaxations can be solved efficiently by first-order methods that exploit CTP, e.g., the conditional gradient-based augmented Lagrangian method. We also extend this CTP-exploiting framework to large-scale POPs with different sparsity structures. The efficiency and scalability of our framework are illustrated on some moment relaxations for various randomly generated POPs, especially second-order moment relaxations for quadratically constrained quadratic programs.
