EE364a, Winter 2007-08 Prof. S. BoydEE364a Homework 4 involving 1- and -norms. Formulate the following problems as LPs. Ex-plain in detail the relation between the optimal solution of each problem and thesolution of its equivalent LP.(a) MinimizekAx bk ( -norm approximation).(b) MinimizekAx bk1( 1-norm approximation).(c) MinimizekAx bk1subject tokxk 1.(d) Minimizekxk1subject tokAx bk 1.(e) MinimizekAx bk1+kxk .In each problem,A Rm nandb Rmare given. (See for more problemsinvolving approximation and constrained approximation.)Solution.(a) Equivalent to the LPminimizetsubject toAx b t1Ax b the variablesx Rn,t R. To see the equivalence, assumexis fixed in thisproblem, and we optimize only overt. The constraints say that t aTkx bk tfor eachk, ,t |aTkx bk|, ,t maxk|aTkx bk|=kAx bk .Clearly, ifxis fixed, the optimal value of the LP isp (x) =kAx bk . Thereforeoptimizing overtandxsimultaneously is equivalent to the original problem.
5.1 A simple example. Consider the optimization problem minimize x2 +1 subject to (x−2)(x−4) ≤ 0, with variable x ∈ R. (a) Analysis of primal problem. Give the feasible set, the optimal value, and the optimal solution. (b) Lagrangian and dual function. Plot …
