For any graph [Formula: see text] Luz and Schrijver [A convex quadratic characterization of the Lovász theta number, SIAM J. Discrete Math. 19(2) (2005) 382–387] introduced a characterization of the Lovász number [Formula: see text] based on convex quadratic programming. A similar characterization is now established for the weighted version of the number [Formula: see text] independently introduced by McEliece, Rodemich, and Rumsey [The Lovász bound and some generalizations, J. Combin. Inform. Syst. Sci. 3 (1978) 134–152] and Schrijver [A Comparison of the Delsarte and Lovász bounds, IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory 25(4) (1979) 425–429]. Also, a class of graphs for which the weighted version of [Formula: see text] coincides with the weighted stability number is characterized.
