Lecture 13: Geometric Problems Continued (EE364a)

Professor

1:15:17·2008·graduate level

This lecture, part of Stanford's EE 364A, delves into advanced geometric problems within the framework of convex optimization. It systematically applies principles of convex analysis to formulate and solve engineering design challenges, including specific applications relevant to signal processing and control systems.

Professor Stephen Boyd, of the Stanford University Electrical Engineering department, continues his lecture on geometric problems for the course, Convex Optimization I (EE 364A).

Convex Optimization I concentrates on recognizing and solving convex optimization problems that arise in engineering. Convex sets, functions, and optimization problems. Basics of convex analysis. Least-squares, linear and quadratic programs, semidefinite programming, minimax, extremal volume, and other problems. Optimality conditions, duality theory, theorems of alternative, and applications. Interior-point methods. Applications to signal processing, control, digital and analog circuit design, computational geometry, statistics, and mechanical engineering.
