This course discusses basic convex analysis (convex sets, functions, and optimization problems), optimization theory (linear, quadratic, semidefinite, and geometric programming; optimality conditions ...

where \(\mathsf{G}(\cdot)\) is some convex operator and \(\mathcal{F}\) is as set of feasible input distributions. Examples of such an optimization problem include finding capacity in information ...

Optimal control theory seeks to determine control strategies that drive dynamical systems to meet performance objectives, while mixed-integer optimisation incorporates both continuous and discrete ...
