The kernel function plays a central role in kernel methods. In this paper, we consider the automated learning of the kernel matrix over a convex combination of pre-specified kerne...
The Densest k-subgraph problem (i.e. find a size k subgraph with maximum number of edges), is one of the notorious problems in approximation algorithms. There is a significant g...
We present an autocalibration algorithm for upgrading a projective reconstruction to a metric reconstruction by estimating the absolute dual quadric. The algorithm enforces the ra...
This paper discusses the global minimization of rational functions with or without constraints. We studied the sum of squares (SOS) relaxations and their properties to solve this ...
A wide variety of stability and performance questions about linear dynamical systems can be reformulated as convex optimization problems involving linear matrix inequalities (LMIs...
