Minimization problem involving the inverse of an affine matrix function

Rephrasing slightly, given (symmetric) matrix $\mathrm A \succeq \mathrm O_n$, we have the following minimization problem in (symmetric) matrix $\mathrm X \succeq \mathrm O_n$ $$\begin{array}{ll} \te …

Finding Toeplitz matrix nearest to a given matrix

The set of $n \times n$ symmetric Toeplitz matrices is $$\left\{ x_1 \mathrm M_1 + x_2 \mathrm M_2 + \cdots + x_n \mathrm M_n \mid x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n \in \mathbb R \right\}$$ where $\mathrm M_1, \m …

Complexity of convex quadratically constrained quadratic programming (QCQP)

Convex quadratically constrained quadratic programming (QCQP) can be reduced to semidefinite programming (SDP). Suppose that we are given the following convex QCQP in $\mathrm x \in \mathbb R^n$ $$\be …
