This lecture provides essential background in numerical linear algebra, laying the groundwork for understanding the computational aspects of convex optimization. Key concepts like matrix factorizations and iterative solvers are reviewed.
Professor Stephen Boyd, of the Stanford University Electrical Engineering department, gives a background lecture of numerical linear algebra 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.
