<p>If we use Python as programming language and wish to venture beyond
<b>scikit-learn</b>, <b>tensorflow</b> and similar software which makes our
lives so much easier, we need to dive into the wonderful world of
quadratic programming. We can, if we wish, solve the minimization
problem using say standard gradient methods or conjugate gradient
methods. However, these methods tend to exhibit a rather slow
converge. So, welcome to the promised land of quadratic programming.
<p>A mathematical (quadratic) optimization problem, or just optimization problem, has the form</p>
$$
\begin{align*}
&\mathrm{min}_{\lambda}\hspace{0.2cm} \frac{1}{2}\boldsymbol{\lambda}^T\boldsymbol{P}\boldsymbol{\lambda}+\boldsymbol{q}^T\boldsymbol{\lambda},\\ \nonumber
&\mathrm{subject\hspace{0.1cm}to} \hspace{0.2cm} \boldsymbol{G}\boldsymbol{\lambda} \preceq \boldsymbol{h} \wedge \boldsymbol{A}\boldsymbol{\lambda}=f.
\end{align*}
$$
<p>subject to some constraints for say a selected set \( i=1,2,\dots, n \).
In our case we are optimizing with respect to the Lagrangian multipliers \( \lambda_i \), and the
vector \( \boldsymbol{\lambda}=[\lambda_1, \lambda_2,\dots, \lambda_n] \) is the optimization variable we are dealing with.
</p>
<p>The functions we need are contained in the quadratic programming package <b>CVXOPT</b> and we need to import it together with <b>numpy</b> as</p>
<p>In our case we are particularly interested in a class of optimization problems called convex optmization problems.
In our discussion on gradient descent methods we discussed at length the definition of a convex function.
