Consider a function $f:\mathbb{R}^n_{\geq 0}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ that is separately convex, i.e. such that $\frac{d^2f}{dx_i^2}\geq 0$ for all $i\in \{1,\dots n\}$. Assume also that $f$ is ...

We have a standard linear program, I mean a set of inequalities $c_i^Tx\leq b_i$ where $i\in \{1,\ldots ,k\}$ and we want to find $max\{c^Ty| y\in \{\cap \{x|c_i^Tx\leq b_i\}\}$. I put some condition ...

Let $X$ be an $n$-by-$p$ matrix and consider the closed convex polyhedron $$\mathcal P_X := \{y \in \mathbb R^n | \|X^Ty\|_\infty \le 1\}.$$ Notice that $\mathcal P_X$ is symmetric about the origin. ...

Let $E$ be a large sparse $l$-by-$n$ matrix ($l$ and $n$ can be in the billions...) with coefficients in $\{-1, 0, 1\}$: the first row of $E$ is the vector $(1,0,0,\ldots,0) \in \mathbb R^n$, and ...

We write $a \succeq b$, where both $a, b \in \mathbb{R}^n$, as a shorthand for $a_i \ge b_i$ for all $1 \le i \le n$. Let $C$ be a closed convex cone in the first orthant of $\mathbb{R}^n$ and denote ...

Suppose two non-negative convex functions $f$ and $g$ be given. We want to solve the following optimization $$\max_{g\leq\epsilon}f.$$ Now suppose that both $f$ and $g$ can be upper-bounded by a ...
