<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.
