contents Quadratically constrained quadratic programming (QCQP) has long been recognized as a computationally challenging problem, particularly in large-scale or high-dimensional settings where solving it directly becomes intractable. The complexity further escalates when a sparsity constraint is involved, giving rise to the problem of sparse QCQP (SQCQP), which makes conventional solution methods even less effective. Existing approaches for solving SQCQP typically rely on mixed-integer programming formulations, relaxation techniques, or greedy heuristics but often suffer from computational inefficiency and limited accuracy. In this work, we introduce a novel paradigm by designing an efficient algorithm that directly addresses SQCQP. To be more specific, we introduce P-stationarity to establish first- and second-order optimality conditions of the original problem, leading to a system of nonlinear equations whose generalized Jacobian is proven to be nonsingular under mild assumptions. Most importantly, these equations facilitate the development of a semismooth Newton-type method that exhibits significantly low computational complexity due to the sparsity constraint and achieves a locally quadratic convergence rate. Finally, extensive numerical experiments validate the accuracy and computational efficiency of the algorithm compared to several established solvers.
