EE4530 Applied convex optimization

Topics: Applied convex optimization: role of convexity in optimization, convex sets and functions, Canonical convex problems (SDP, LP, QP), second-order methods, first-order methods for large-scale problems.

The course covers several basic and advanced topics in convex optimization. The goal of this course is to recognize/formulate problems as convex optimization problems and develop algorithms for moderate as well as large size problems. The course provides insights that can be used in a variety of disciplines.

This course treats:

Background and optimization basics
Convex sets and functions
Canonical convex optimization problems (LP, QP, SDP)
First-order methods (gradient, subgradient, conjugate gradient)
Second-order methods (unconstrained and equality constrained minimization)
