Contents
Convex optimization problems are a special class of mathematical problems which arise in a variety of practical applications. In this course we focus on the theory of convex optimization, corresponding algorithms, and applications in communications and signal processing (e.g. statistical estimation, allocation of resources in communications networks, and filter design). Special attention is paid to recognizing and formulating convex optimization problems and their efficient solution. The course is based on the textbook "Convex Optimization" by Boyd and Vandenberghe and includes a tutorial in which many examples and exercises are discussed.
