Optimizing directly on the eigenspectrum of a matrix
I have an application where I want to the eigenvalues of the graph to be involved in the objective and constraints in a flexible way (moreso than just the nuclear or frobenius norm). Whats a good ...

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")...

Condition number for Ellipsoid method matrix
Hello,
When using the ellipsoid method (for solving a linear program for example), the volume of the ellipsoid at each iteration is proven to decrease, and do so by at least a factor of $e^{1/2n}$.
...

Minimizing quadratic form over permutations
Let $Q$ be an $n \times n$ real symmetric matrix and $x$ an $n \times 1$ real vector. Consider the following minimization problem:
$\min_{\pi \in S_n} ~(\pi x)^{\rm T} Q (\pi x)$,
where $S_n$ ...

minimize the sum of absolute eigenvalues
Hi,
We have a real symmetric matrix M with diagonal elements 0's, the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of M are computed.
Now we wish to change its diagonal elements arbitrarily to minimize the sum of ...

Maximize the multiplicity of an eigenvalue
Hi,
We have a real, non-singular and symmetric matrix M of size n by n, with diagonal elements 0's. Its eigenvalues and eigenvectors are computed.
Now we wish to change its diagonal elements ...
