Is all non-convex optimization heuristic?
Convex Optimization is a mathematically rigorous and well-studied field. In linear programming a whole host of tractable methods give your global optimums in lightning fast times. Quadratic programmin …

Solving NP problems in (usually) Polynomial time?
Just because a problem is NP-complete doesn't mean it can't be usually solved quickly.
The best example of this is probably the traveling salesman problem, for which extraordinarily large instances …

Mathematical Programming with other Algebras than Linear
Linear Programming is strongly entwined with linear algebra, as are many of its generalizations under the heading of mathematical programming / convex optimization.
What analogies are there for conve …

Are there intuitive/classically algorithmic analogues to Semidefinite programs on networks?
Many network optimization algorithms, including shortest path, push-relabel, augmenting path, etc, actually have an interpretation in terms of linear programming.
A famous application of semidefinite …

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 surv …

L1-regularized Least Squares on a matrix with Toeplitz Blocks (not block-Toeplitz)
I am trying to speed up a sparse signal recovery algorithms.
My sensing matrix is a set of Toeplitz Blocks, M = [T1,T2,T3,...,Tk]
The objective is min ||Mx - b||_2^2 + ||x||1
What I'm actually doin …
