Lecture 9: Duality Theory (EE364a)

Professor

1:16:36·2008·graduate level

This lecture delves into the theoretical foundations and practical applications of duality theory within convex optimization, examining optimality conditions and alternative theorems. Students explore the relationship between primal and dual problems to achieve robust solutions.

Professor Stephen Boyd, of the Stanford University Electrical Engineering department, continues his lecture upon duality 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.
