convex approximation for a non convex function
Consider the function
$f\left( {{x_1},...,{x_M},{y_1},...,{y_N}} \right) = \left( {\sum\limits_{j = 1}^M {{\alpha _j}{x_j}} } \right)\left( {{e^{ - \sum\limits_{i = 1}^N {{\beta _i}{y_i}} }}} \right)$...

Changing a nonlinear equality constraint into some conic inequality plus rank constraint
If we have a constraint optimization problem in which one of our constraint is $\prod\limits_{k = 1}^N {\left( {x - {a_k}} \right) = 0} $ . How could this nonlinear equality condition be changed into ...

Eigenvalues of a given parametrized matrix.
Let $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{B}$ be two complex rank-one $N\times N$ positive semi-definite matrices. Let the matrix $\mathbf{C}$ be defined as
\begin{align}
\mathbf{C}=\left(\mathbf{I}*\frac{1}{\...

Finding a specific solution to $X^T\Sigma X = D$
I'm looking to solve for a specific $X$ in the following equation:
$$X^T\Sigma X = D,$$
where $\Sigma \succ 0$, $D$ is a diagonal matrix with strictly positive entries, and all matrices are square. It ...
