2 Outline Lecture 1 What is the Course About Who Cares and Why Course Objective Convex Optimization History New Interest in the Topic Formal Introduction Convex Optimization 1
3 Lecture 1 What is the Course About? A special class of optimization (includes Linear Programming) Convex Optimization 2
4 Who Cares and Why? Who? Anyone using or interested in computational aspects of optimization Why? To understand the underlying basic terminology, principles, and methodology (to efficiently use the existing software tools) To develop ability to modify tools when needed To develop ability to design new algorithms or improve the efficiency of the existing ones Convex Optimization 3
5 Course Objective The goal of this course is to provide you with working knowledge of convex optimization In particular, to provide you with skills and knowledge to Recognize convex problems Model problems as convex Solve the problems Convex Optimization 4
6 Convex Optimization History Convexity Theory and Analysis have being studied for a long time, mostly by mathematicians Until late 1980 s: Algorithmic development focused mainly on solving Linear Problems Simplex Algorithm for linear programming (Dantzig, 1947) Ellipsoid Method (Shor, 1970) Interior-Point Methods for linear programming (Karmarkar, 1984) Applications in operations research and few in engineering Since late 1980 s: A new interest in Convex Optimization emerges Convex Optimization 5
7 New Interest in the Topic Recent developments stimulated a new interest in Convex Optimization The recognition that Interior-Point Methods can efficiently solve certain classes of convex problems, including semi-definite programs and secondorder cone programs, almost as easily as linear programs The new technologies and their applications created a need for new models (convex models are often suitable) Convex Problems are now prevalent in practice Automatic Control Systems Estimation, Signal and Image Processing Communication and Data Networks Data Analysis and Modeling Statistics and Finance Convex Optimization 6
8 Formal Introduction Mathematical Formulation of Optimization Some Examples Solving Optimization Problems Least-Squares Linear Optimization Convex Optimization Practical Example Ongoing Research in Convex Optimization Convex Optimization 7
9 Mathematical Formulation of Optimization Problem minimize f(x) subject to g i (x) 0, x X i = 1,..., m Vector x = (x 1,..., x n ) represents optimization (decision) variables Function f : R n R is an objective function Lecture 1 Functions g i : R n R, i = 1,..., m are constraint functions (represent inequality constraints) Set X R n is a constraint set Optimal value: The smallest value of f among all vectors that satisfy the set and the inequality constraints Optimal solution: A vector that achieves the optimal value of f and satisfies all the constraints Convex Optimization 8
10 Communication Networks Some Examples Variables: communication rates for users Constraints: link capacities Objective: user cost Portfolio Optimization Variables: amounts invested in different assets Constraints: available budget, maximum/minimum investment per asset, minimum return, time constraints Objective: overall risk or return variance Data Fitting Variables: model parameters Constraints: prior information, parameter limits Objective: measure of misfit or prediction error Convex Optimization 9
11 Solving Optimization Problems General Optimization Problem Very difficult to solve Existing methods involve trade offs between time and accuracy, eg., very long computation time, or finding a sub-optimal solution Exceptions: Certain problem classes can be solved efficiently and reliably Least-Squares Problems Linear Programming Problems Some classes of Convex Optimization Problems Convex Optimization 10
12 Least-Squares minimize Ax b 2 Solving Least-Squares Problems Analytical solution: x = (A T A) 1 A T b Reliable and efficient algorithms and software A mature technology Computation time proportional to n 2 k (A R k n ); less if structured Using Least-Squares Least-squares problems are easy to recognize In regression analysis, optimal control, parameter estimation A few standard techniques increase its flexibility in applications (eg., including weights, regularization terms) Convex Optimization 11
13 Linear Programming minimize c x subject to a ix b i, 1 i m Solving Linear Programs No analytical solution Reliable and efficient algorithms and software A mature technology Convex Optimization 12
14 Using Linear Programming Not as easy to recognize as least-squares problems (linear formulation possible but not always obvious) A few standard tricks used to convert problems into linear programs (eg., problems involving maximum norm, piecewise-linear functions) Convex Optimization 13
15 Convex Optimization Problems minimize f(x) subject to g i (x) 0, i = 1,..., m x X Objective and constraint functions are convex Constraint set is convex Includes least-squares problems and linear programs as special cases Solving Convex Optimization Problems No analytical solution Reliable and efficient algorithms for some classes Computation time (roughly) proportional to max{n 3, n 2 m, G}, where G is a cost of evaluating g i s and their first and second derivatives Almost a technology Using Convex Optimization Often difficult to recognize Many tricks for transforming problems into convex form Many practical problems can be modeled as convex optimization Convex Optimization 14
16 Practical Example Image Reconstruction in PET-scan [Ben-Tal, 2005] Maximum Likelihood Model results in convex optimization min x 0, e x 1 m i=1 y i ln n j=1 p ij x j x is a decision vector y models measured data (by PET detectors) p ij probabilities modeling detections of emitted positrons Convex Optimization 15
17 Ongoing Research in Convex Optimization and Beyond Distributed computations for large scale (nonsmooth) convex problems Approximation schemes with rate and error estimates Extending the methodology to non-convex problems Convex Optimization 16
