In [[geometry]], the '''Chebyshev center''' of a bounded set <math>Q</math> having non-empty [[Interior (topology)|interior]] is the center of the minimal-radius ball enclosing the entire set <math>Q</math>, or, alternatively, the center of largest inscribed ball of <math>Q</math>.<ref>{{cite book|title=Convex optimization|year=2004|publisher=Cambridge|location=New York|isbn=978-0-521-83378-3|author=Boyd, Stephen P.; Vandenberghe, Lieven}}</ref>
 
In the field of [[parameter estimation]], the Chebyshev center approach tries to find an estimator <math> \hat x </math> for <math> x </math> given the feasibility set <math> Q </math>, such that <math>\hat x</math> minimizes the worst possible estimation error for x (e.g. best worst case).
 
== Mathematical representation ==
There exist several alternative representations for the Chebyshev center.
Consider the set <math>Q</math> and denote its Chebyshev center by <math>\hat{x}</math>. <math>\hat{x}</math> can be computed by solving:
 
: <math> \min_{{\hat x},r} \left\{ r:\left\| {\hat x} - x \right\|^2 \leq r, \forall x \in Q \right\} </math>
 
or alternatively by solving:
 
:<math> \operatorname*{\arg\min}_{\hat{x}} \max_{x \in Q} \left\| x - \hat x \right\|^2. </math><ref name="BV">{{cite book|title=Convex Optimization|first1=Stephen P.|last1=Boyd|first2=Lieven|last2=Vandenberghe|year=2004|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-0-521-83378-3|url=http://www.stanford.edu/~boyd/cvxbook/bv_cvxbook.pdf|format=pdf|accessdate=October 15, 2011}}</ref>
 
Despite these properties, finding the Chebyshev center may be a hard numerical [[mathematical optimization|optimization problem]]. For example, in the second representation above, the inner maximization is [[nonconvex optimization|non-convex]] if the set ''Q'' is not [[convex set|convex]].
 
== Relaxed Chebyshev center ==
Let us consider the case in which the set <math>Q</math> can be represented as the intersection of <math>k</math> ellipsoids.  
 
: <math> \min_{\hat x} \max_x \left\{ \left\| {\hat x} - x \right\|^2 :f_i (x) \le 0,0 \le i \le k \right\} </math>
with
: <math> f_i (x) = x^T Q_i x + 2g_i^T x + d_i  \le 0,0 \le i \le k. \, </math>
 
By introducing an additional matrix variable <math>\Delta = x x^T </math>, we can write the inner maximization problem of the Chebyshev center as:
 
: <math> \min_{\hat x} \max_{(\Delta ,x) \in G} \left\{ \left\| {\hat x} \right\|^2  - 2{\hat x}^T x + \operatorname{Tr}(\Delta ) \right\} </math>
where <math>\operatorname{Tr}(\cdot)</math> is the [[trace (linear algebra)|trace operator]] and
: <math> G = \left\{(\Delta ,x):{\rm{f}}_i (\Delta ,x) \le 0,0 \le i \le k,\Delta  = xx^T \right\} </math>
: <math> f_i (\Delta ,x) = \operatorname{Tr}(Q_i \Delta ) + 2g_i^T x + d_i. </math>
 
Relaxing our demand on <math>\Delta</math> by demanding <math> \Delta \leq xx^T </math>, i.e. <math>xx^T - \Delta \in S_+</math> where <math>S_+</math> is the set of [[positive semi-definite matrix|positive semi-definite matrices]], and changing the order of the min max to max min (see the references for more details), the optimization problem can be formulated as:
 
: <math> RCC = \max_{(\Delta ,x) \in {T}} \left\{ - \left\| x \right\|^2  + \operatorname{Tr}(\Delta ) \right\} </math>
with
: <math> {T} = \left\{ (\Delta ,x):\rm{f}_i (\Delta ,x) \le 0,0 \le i \le k,\Delta \le xx^T  \right\}. </math>
 
This last '''convex''' optimization problem is known as the '''relaxed Chebyshev center''' (RCC).
The RCC has the following important properties:
* The RCC is an upper bound for the exact Chebyshev center.
* The RCC is unique.
* The RCC is feasible.
 
== Constrained least squares ==
With a few simple mathematical tricks, it can be shown that the well-known constrained [[least squares]] (CLS) problem is a relaxed version of the Chebyshev center.
 
The original CLS problem can be formulated as:
: <math> {\hat x}_{CLS}  = \operatorname*{\arg\min}_{x \in C} \left\| y - Ax \right\|^2 </math>
with
: <math> { C} = \left\{ x:f_i (x) = x^T Q_i x + 2g_i^T x + d_i  \le 0,1 \le i \le k \right\}
</math>
: <math> Q_i  \ge 0,g_i  \in R^m ,d_i  \in R. </math>
 
It can be shown that this problem is equivalent to the following optimization problem:
: <math> \max_{(\Delta ,{{x}}) \in {V}} \left\{ { - \left\| {{x}} \right\|^2  + \operatorname{Tr}(\Delta )} \right\} </math>
with
: <math> V = \left\{ \begin{array}{c}
(\Delta ,x):x \in C{\rm{ }} \\
\operatorname{Tr}(A^T A\Delta ) - 2y^T A^T x + \left\| y \right\|^2  - \rho  \le 0,\rm{  }\Delta  \ge xx^T  \\
\end{array} \right\}.</math>
 
One can see that this problem is a relaxation of the Chebyshev center (though different than the RCC described above).
 
== RCC vs. CLS ==
A solution set <math> (x,\Delta) </math> for the RCC is also a solution for the CLS, and thus <math> T \in V </math>.
This means that the CLS estimate is the solution of a looser relaxation than that of the RCC.
Hence the '''CLS is an upper bound for the RCC''', which is an upper bound for the real Chebyshev center.
 
== Modeling constraints ==
Since both the RCC and CLS are based upon relaxation of the real feasibility set <math>Q</math>, the form in which <math>Q</math> is defined affects its relaxed versions. This of course affects the quality of the RCC and CLS estimators.
As a simple example consider the linear box constraints:
: <math> l \leq a^T x \leq u </math>
which can alternatively be written as
: <math> (a^T x - l)(a^T x - u) \leq 0. </math>
It turns out that the first representation results with an upper bound estimator for the second one, hence using it may dramatically decrease the quality of the calculated estimator.
 
This simple example shows us that great care should be given to the formulation of constraints when relaxation of the feasibility region is used.
