Convex optimization upper bound for a non-linear optimization
Is there any good convex optimization problem based upper-bound for the following non-linear optimization problem?
\begin{align}
\max_{x_1,\ldots,x_N}&\quad \sum_{n=1}^{N} \log(1+\frac{x_n}{1+\...

Notion of distance between linear programs
Consider the linear programming problem
\begin{align}
\max_{x}&~c^Tx \\~s.t.~~a^Tx &\leq B~,~0\leq x_i \le1
\end{align}
where $c$ and $a$ are $n \times 1$ given non-negative vectors. $B$ is a ...

Finding orthogonal basis with constraint
Is there any fast algorithm that output an orthogonal basis $e_i,i\leq n$ of $R^n$
with $e_i\in V_i$? Where $V_i,i\leq n$ are given linear subspaces of $R^n$.
And is there any condition on $V_i,i\leq ...

Can we reduce the maximization of this integral to the maximization of the integrand?
I would like to know whether we are able to reduce the following optimization problem to the pointwise optimization of the integrand (or how we can solve it otherwise): Maximize $$\sum_{i\in I}\sum_{j\...

Maximizing sum of homogeneous functions of order one over a polytope
Let $f_i: \mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be
concave, increasing (i.e., if $x\geq y$ where the inequality is entry wise, we have $f_i(x)\geq f_i(y)$), and a
homogeneous function of order one for ...

Relationship of optimal solutions between the total function and the sub function
This is an unconstrained convex optimization problem. Let $\mathcal{N}=\left\{1,\ldots,n\right\}$, $2\leq n<\infty$. Suppose there are many strongly convex functions $f_i(x)$, where $x\in\mathbb{R}^...

The best unitary matrices that approximate a matrix product
Let $\mathbf{A}$ be an arbitrary $N\times N$ complex matrix. Moreover, $\mathcal{U}_1$ and $\mathcal{U}_2$ are distinct subsets of all unitary matrices. Suppose the matrices $\mathbf{U}_1$ and $\...

How can we analytically solve this max-sum-min problem?
Let $I$ be a finite set, and $A_{ij},B_{ij},x_i,y_j\ge0$. I want to find the choice of $x_i,y_j$ maximizing $$\sum_{i\in I}\sum_{j\in J}A_{ij}\min\left(x_i,B_{ij}y_j\right)\tag1$$ subject to $$\sum_{i\...
