his paper addresses the problem of generating strong convex relaxations of Mixed Integer Quadratically Constrained Programming (MIQCP) problems. MIQCP problems are very difficult because they combine two kinds of non-convexities: integer variables and non-convex quadratic constraints. To produce strong relaxations of MIQCP problems, we use techniques from disjunctive programming and the lift-and-project methodology. In particular, we propose new methods for generating valid inequalities by using the equation Y = x x T . We use the concave constraint xx^T - Y psd to derive disjunctions of two types. The first ones are directly derived from the eigenvectors of the matrix Y − x x^T with positive eigenvalues, the second type of disjunctions are obtained by combining several eigenvectors in order to minimize the width of the disjunction. We also use the convex SDP constraint Y - xx^T psd to derive convex quadratic cuts and combine both approaches in a cutting plane algorithm. We present preliminary computational results to illustrate our findings.
