Bipartite sign rounding bound

ID: bipartite-sign-rounding-bound

For bipartite binary quadratic optimization, if is the sign optimum and its semidefinite relaxation of binary quadratic optimization value, then . The upper bound follows from rank-one lifting. For the lower bound, Krivine rounding scheme preprocessing followed by Gaussian hyperplane rounding has expected objective exactly , and every rounded vector is feasible. Some outcome reaches at least this expectation. No independence of rounded coordinates or positive semidefiniteness of the original bipartite objective is needed.
