What is it about?

We show an important property, Lipschitz continuity, of a matrix-valued function - matrix-valued Fischer-Burmeister function - that allows us to take advantage of properties of Newton-type methods, such as, quadratic convergence, when solving semi-definite programs.

Why is it important?

This is the first time that Lipschitz continuity of the gradient of the squared norm of the matrix-valued Fischer-Burmeister function is shown, thus laying the foundation for applying Newton-type methods to solve semi-definite programs.

Perspectives

The note revolves around showing Lipschitz continuity of the gradient of the squared norm of the matrix-valued Fischer-Burmeister function, and does not take long to read.
