The goal of this course is to investigate in-depth and to develop expert knowledge in the theory and algorithms for convex optimization. This course will provide a rigorous introduction to the rich ...

This course discusses basic convex analysis (convex sets, functions, and optimization problems), optimization theory (linear, quadratic, semidefinite, and geometric programming; optimality conditions ...

The Sphere function has d local minima except for the global one. It is continuous, convex and unimodal. The plot shows its two-dimensional form. The function is usually evaluated on the hypercube x i ...
