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

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 51, No. 2 (2013), pp. 1134-1162 (29 pages) Alternating linear schemes (ALS), with the alternating least squares algorithm a notable special case, provide one ...

Let Γ(X) denote the proper, lower semicontinuous, convex functions on a Banach space X, equipped with the completely metrizable topology of uniform convergence of distance functions on bounded sets.

Quantum process tomography is often used to completely characterize an unknown quantum process. However, it may lead to an unphysical process matrix, which will cause the loss of information with ...
