Algebraic Techniques and Semidefinite Optimization
6.972 · Electrical Engineering and Computer Science · Graduate · Spring 2006
Prof. Pablo Parrilo
This research-oriented course will focus on algebraic and computational techniques for optimization problems involving polynomial equations and inequalities with particular emphasis on the connections with semidefinite optimization. The course will develop in a parallel fashion several algebraic and numerical approaches to polynomial systems, with a view towards methods that simultaneously incorporate both elements. We will study both the complex and real cases, developing techniques of general…
