I am looking for practical applications of semidefinite- programming. So far, I found that the low-rank matrix completion problem (recomendendattion matrices) can be expressed as a semidefinite program. The same goes for the combinatorial problem MAX-CUT.
- What is a practical applications of the MAX-CUT problem?
- What would be a third practical applications of semidefinite programming?
Would be nice if anyone could recommend any references. Thanks.

One application is determining whether a polynomial can be expressed as a sum of squares. Take a look at this.

If you haven't already read Boyd and Vandenberghe, it discusses a bunch of applications of SDPs (including in the exercises and the additional exercises).

I've looked into Boyd and Vandenberghe. Problem is, these problems are convex or quasiconvex and since semidef. problems are just a subfield, things dont really fit. Or am I wrong here?

@Rodrigo the sum of squares is quite interesting. I read math.stackexchange.com/questions/2410994/… . How would I have to choose A_i if I want to transform min tr(Q) s.t. A(Q)=b,Q⪰O to the standard sdp form min tr(C,Q) s.t. Q⪰O ,tr(A_i,Q)=b_i .
