DSDP with MATLAB

Additional help using the DSDP can be found by typing help dsdp in the directory DSDP5.X. The command

> [STAT, y, X] = DSDP(b, AC)
attempts to solve the semidefinite program by using a dual-scaling algorithm. The first argument is the objective vector $b$ in (D) and the second argument is a cell array that contains the structure and data for the constraint cones. Most data has a block structure, which should be specified by the user in the second argument. For a problem with $p$ cones of constraints, AC is a $p \times 3$ cell array. Each row of the cell array describes a cone. The first element in each row of the cell array is a string that identifies the type of cone. The second element of the cell array specifies the dimension of the cone, and the third element contains the cone data.
