### Nice and promising heuristic for large and sparse SDP "we present computational results which show that the method finds optimal solutions to (2) quite reliably, and although we are able to derive some amount of theoretical justification for this, our belief that the method is not strongly affected by the inherent nonconvexity of (2) is largely experimental" ### Optimality I read: "Theorem 2.2. There exists an optimal solution $X^∗$ of (1) with rank r satisfying the inequality $r(r+ 1)/2 ≤ m$.", where (1) is the standard-form primal SDP and $m$ is the number of linear constraints in the SDP. Is there a proof that with $r>\sqrt{2m}$, SDPLR gives the optimal solution? i.e. any local minimum is a global minimum? ### Goemans-Williamson SDP relaxation This is an algorithm that seems more scalable: https://github.com/maxdan94/spingraphSDP

Interestig paper, I'll definitely read this during my vacation days. From combinatorial point of view RNA structures are very interrsting things of real world. For example, [there](https://dodona.ugent.be/en/exercises/1466537422/) are certains bijective connections between Motzkin paths and secondary RNA-structures. Very elegant models. I want to do the something similar but for ternary structure.
