Copositive matrix?

I want to check under what conditions a matrix of the form $\alpha J -Q$ is copositive, where $J$ is the all-ones matrix and $Q$ is doubly nonegative (i.e. entrywise nonnegative and positive ...

What is the minimum of the Frobenius norm in the intersection of positive semidefinite cones?

For scalar variables $x$, we have a simple solution for the following problem. \begin{eqnarray} \min_x&&\alpha(x-a)^2+\beta(x-b)^2 \\\ \mathrm{s.t. }&&x\leq a\\\ &&...

Linear and Isometric Automorphism Groups of the PSD Cone

Let $S_+$ be the cone of psd matrices ($n\times n$ real symmetric positive semidefinite matrices). This cone is a metric space induced from the inner product $\langle A,B\rangle = tr (AB)=tr(BA)$. ...

cayley transform for non-square matrices

Hi, I am optimizing a function over a matrix $U$, where $U \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$ and $U^TU = I$. I do not want to run a constrained maximization program, since employing the constraint $U^TU = ...

Matrix optimization problem

This is (probably) an easy one: Given a positive definite matrix $M$, find the positive definite matrix $X$, which minimizes $\textrm{tr}(X M)$ subject to $\det(X) = 1$. Looking for how to find X, ...

efficient way to compute the inversion of the following matrix

Hi, there I have looked it up in the current textbook. The conventional numerical method to compute the inversion of an $n \times n$ matrix requires $O(n^3)$. However, for the following special ...

Finding the solution to b = Ax that minimizes the Hamming weight (everything over the field F_2).

Is there an efficient algorithm for finding the solution $x$ of $b = Ax$ that minimizes the Hamming weight of $x$, where $A$ is a nxm-matrix over the field $\mathbb{F}_2$ ("integer matrix modulo 2")...

Nonunique low-rank matrix completion from a few entries

Suppose we want to have a good approximation for the following NP-hard problem $$\min_{\bf X} \operatorname{rank}({\bf X}) \text{ s.t. } \mathcal{A}({\bf X}) = {\bf b}, {\bf X} \succeq 0$$ where ${\bf ...

Matrix approximation

Let A be an $m\times n$ matrix and $k$ be an integer. Assume that $A$ is non-negative. We want to find a scalar $\epsilon$ and an $n\times n$ matrix $B$ such that $A\leq A(\epsilon I + B)$ (where $\...
