Query: Bundle-based pruning in the max-plus curse of dimensionality free method   Recently a new class of techniques termed the max-plus curse of
dimensionality-free methods have been developed to solve nonlinear optimal
control problems. In these methods the discretization in state space is avoided
by using a max-plus basis expansion of the value function. This requires
storing only the coefficients of the basis functions used for representation.
However, the number of basis functions grows exponentially with respect to the
number of time steps of propagation to the time horizon of the control problem.
This so called "curse of complexity" can be managed by applying a pruning
procedure which selects the subset of basis functions that contribute most to
the approximation of the value function. The pruning procedures described thus
far in the literature rely on the solution of a sequence of high dimensional
optimization problems which can become computationally expensive.
  In this paper we show that if the max-plus basis functions are linear and the
region of interest in state space is convex, the pruning problem can be
efficiently solved by the bundle method. This approach combining the bundle
method and semidefinite formulations is applied to the quantum gate synthesis
problem, in which the state space is the special unitary group (which is
non-convex). This is based on the observation that the convexification of the
unitary group leads to an exact relaxation. The results are studied and
validated via examples.
