This post is devoted to few convex and compact sets of matrices that I like. The set \( {\mathcal{C}_n} \) of correlation matrices. A real \( {n\times n} \) matrix \( {C} \) is a correlation matrix when \( {C} \) is symmetric, semidefinite positive, with unit diagonal. This means that \[ C_{ii}=1, \quad C_{ji}=C_{ji},\quad \left\geq0 \] for every \(...

In this post, we will see special kinds of matrix and vectors the diagonal and symmetric matrices, the unit vector and the concept of orthogonality.

[AI summary] The blog post discusses non-convex quadratic optimization problems and their solutions, including the use of strong duality, semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxations, and efficient algorithms. It highlights the importance of these problems in machine learning and optimization, particularly for non-convex problems where strong duality holds. The post also mentions the equivalence between certain non-convex problems and their convex relaxations, such as SDP, and provides examples of when these relaxations are tight or not. Key concepts include the role of eigenvalues in quadratic optimization, the use of Lagrange multipliers, and the application of methods like Newton-Raphson for solving these problems. The author also acknowledges contributions...

The recent post on cloud computing and Google Docs made me ask myself whether Google Docs supports (La)TeX. It turned out you can insert LaTeX equations into your Google doc (as discussed in more detail e.g. here) but that's that for now. There exists a LaTeX Lab project aspiring to develop a web-based LaTeX editor...
