Efficient Deterministic Algorithm for Huge-Sized Noisy Sensor Localization Problems via Canonical Duality Theory

This paper presents a new deterministic method and a polynomial-time algorithm for solving general huge-sized sensor network localization problems. The problem is first formulated as a nonconvex minimization, which was considered as an NP-hard based on conventional theories. However, by the canonical duality theory, this challenging problem can be equivalently converted into a convex dual problem....
