We consider the problem of minimizing a linear function over an affine section of the cone of positive semidefinite matrices, with the additional constraint that the feasible matrix has prescribed rank.
If (beta ) and s are large enough, there should be asymptotic series of any prescribed order and the coefficients are all finite rank [450, 289, Prop. 7.1].
