Lehrinhalte
This graduate course introduces the basic theory of convex optimization and illustrates its use with many recent applications in communication systems and signal processing.
Outline: Introduction, convex sets and convex functions, convex problems and classes of convex problems (LP, QP, SOCP, SDP, GP), Lagrange duality and KKT conditions, basics of numerical algorithms and interior point methods, optimization tools, convex inner and outer approximations for non convex problems, sparse optimization, distributed optimization, mixted integer linear and non-linear programming, applications.
