In this talk, we consider StQPs\u00a0under an additional cardinality (sparsity) constraint which, even for convex objectives, renders NP-hard problems. One motivation to study StQPs under such sparsity restrictions is the high-dimensional portfolio selection problem with too many assets to handle, in particular in the presence of transaction costs. We present novel computational approaches to this relevant but difficult problem, involving modern conic optimization techniques, along with significant\u00a0dimensional reduction, which is essential for tractability of these methods when problem size grows. In addition, we propose a particular generation procedure that systematically avoids too easy instances. We present extensive computational results demonstrating the versatility and strength of the proposed relaxations.<\/span><\/strong><\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><p>Website:\u00a0<span
