Abstract: The extended linear Stiefel Manifold optimization (ELS) is studied in the first time. It aims at minimizing a linear objective function over the set of all p-tuples of orthonormal vectors in mathbbRn satisfying k additional linear constraints. Despite the classical polynomial-time solvable case k=0, (ELS) is in general NP-hard. According to the Shapiro-Barvinok-Pataki theorem, (ELS) admits an exact semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation when p(p+1)/2lenk, which is tight when p=1. Surprisingly, we can greatly strengthen this sufficient exactness condition to be plenk, which covers the extreme case np=0=k. Regarding (ELS) as a smooth nonlinear programming problem, we reveal a nice property that under LICQ, the standard first- and second-order {it local} necessary optimality conditions are sufficient for {it global} optimality when p+1lenk.
