Relations between the optimal solutions of two related SDPs
In system theory, we often encounter Semi-Definite Programs (SDPs) with Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) constraints, such as those presented in this paper. I have introduced new variables based on the ...

Monotonicity of kernel matrices with respect to hyperparameters
Let $\mathcal{X}$ be some nice space, let $\Phi$ be some ordered space, and let $K :\mathcal{X} \times \mathcal{X} \times \Phi \to \mathbf{R}$ be a positive-semidefinite kernel indexed by a ...

Is there an efficient way to do semidefinite programming with a Lyapunov equation constraint?
I am trying to numerically solve semidefinite programs of the form
$$\begin{array}{ll} \underset{X,Y}{\text{minimize}} & \operatorname{tr}(AX)\\ \text{subject to} & BY + YB = X\\ & X, Y \...

Matrix norm minimization and matrix inner product
One of the famous problem in SDP is the matrix norm minimization (see S. Boyd, Convex Optimization, p. 170).
Consider:
\begin{equation}\label{eq:Lasse}
\begin{aligned}
&\min_{\mathbf{x}}
& &...

Max-norm projection of a Hermitian matrix onto the set of positive semidefinite matrices
For a given Hermitian matrix $A$ (i.e. complex matrix with $A_{ij}^{\ast}=A_{ji}$) find its max-norm projection onto the set of complex positive semi-definite matrices:
$$\Pi(A)=\mathrm{argmin}_{M\...

A (linear) optimization problem subject to (linear) matrix inequality constraints
Let $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ be a Hurwitz matrix, i.e. $A$ satisfies $\mathrm{Re}\,\lambda_i< 0$, where $\{\lambda_i\}_{i=1}^n$ is the set of eigenvalues of $A$. Suppose that the trace of $A$...

Explicit formula for an LMI solution
Suppose we have a linear matrix inequality (aka LMI aka spectahedron aka linear matrix pencil):
$$A_{0}+x_{1}A_{1}+x_{2}A_{2}+\ldots+x_{m}A_{m} \succeq 0.$$
(The notation $X \succeq Y$ means that $X-...
