Convex Optimization Boyd & Vandenberghe1. Introduction mathematical Optimization least-squares and linear programming Convex Optimization example course goals and topics nonlinear Optimization brief history of Convex optimization1 1 Mathematical Optimization (mathematical) Optimization problemminimizef0(x)subject tofi(x) bi, i= 1,..,m x= (x1,..,xn): Optimization variables f0:Rn R: objective function fi:Rn R,i= 1,..,m: constraint functionsoptimal solutionx has smallest value off0among all vectors thatsatisfy the constraintsIntroduction1 2 Examplesportfolio Optimization variables: amounts invested in different assets constraints: budget, investment per asset, minimum return objective: overall risk or return variancedevice sizing in electronic circuits variables: device widths and lengths constraints: manufacturing limits, timing requirements,maximum area objective: power consumptiondata fitting variables: model parameters constraints: prior information, parameter
• a few standard techniques increase flexibility (e.g., including weights, adding regularization terms) ... is cost of evaluating fi’s and their first and second derivatives • almost a technology ... ellipsoid method and other subgradient methods • 1980s: polynomial-time interior-point methods for linear programming ...
