Constrained linear optimization problem on $C^1$

I am dealing with a problem of the form ($a<b$) $$ \displaystyle \max_{v \in C^1([a, b])} \int_a^b v(x)~\mathrm{d}x, \quad \mathrm{s.t.} \int^b_a \big(-o'(x)v(x)-v'(x)o(x)\big)f(x)~\mathrm{d}x \...

On optimizing a multivariate quadratic function subject to certain conditions

The problem is to maximize $f(x_1,x_2,\cdots,x_n)=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\Big(x_i-k_i\Big)^2$ for $n\ge 3$ subject to the conditions (1) $\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}x_i=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}k_i\le n(n-1)$ ...

Best projection on non-convex discrete set with two constraints

I want to compute the projection of a vector $\left( x\right) _{1\leq i,j\leq n}\in \lbrack 0,1]^{n\times n}$ on the following discrete set $$ S=\left\{ x\in \{0,1\}^{n\times n}:x_{i,j}+x_{j,i}\leq 1;\...

Convergence of infinite linear programming

Suppose we have the following linear program (LP1), $$\min_{f \in \mathcal{C}} \int_{\mathbb{R}} f(t) \cos(2 \pi x_0 t) dt \\ \text{subject to } \int_{\mathbb{R}}f(t)dt = 1 \\\forall x\in [0,1]: \int_{...

The minimum of a sum of absolute values of inner products in $\mathbb{R}^d$

Consider a collection of unit vectors $v_1, \ldots, v_n$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ (we think of $n$ being much larger than $d$). I would like to minimize the sum: $$\sum_{i\neq j}|\langle v_i,v_j\rangle|.$$ ...

Inner Product of Given Sum Positive Sequence

Let $$A = \Big\{(a_1,a_2,\dots)\ \Big|\ a_i\ge 0, \sum_{i=1}^\infty a_i=1\Big\},$$ $$v(x)=\sup\left(\bigg\{\sum_{i=1}^\infty a_ib_i\ \bigg|\ (a_i)_{i=1}^\infty,\, (b_i)_{i=1}^\infty \in A,\,\sup\...
