Optimization problem on trace of complex matrix product
Given a complex rectangular matrix $A$ $(k \times n)$, I am interested in solving the following optimization problem over $(k\times n)$ complex matrices $x$:
$$
\mathrm{arg}\max_X \,\mathrm{trace}(X^...

Efficient algorithm for finding the minima of a piecewise linear function
Consider real numbers $a_i$ and $b_i$ for $i=1\dots n$ and define a function by
$f(x) = \max_i ( a_i + b_i x )$
We desire to find $\min_x f(x)$. Obviously this occurs at an intersection of two lines:...

Could SVD be used to optimize the partial inner-products?
Suppose a set $N$ of $n$ distinct points in $m-$dimensional space is given in $X\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times m}$. Also, suppose a subset $L\subset N$, $|L|=l<m<n$, with
$m-$dimensional coordinates in ...

Can one efficiently optimize over the inverse of matrix?
Hello,
I have the following problem:
Find a non-negative matrix $L$ (i.e. $L_{i,j} \geq 0$ for all $i,j$), $L \neq I$ so that $A(I-L)^{-1}y \geq 0$ (the inequality must hold for each component), ...
