They deal with the third part of that course, and is about nonlinear optimization.Just as the first parts of MAT-INF2360, this third part also has its roots in linear algebra. • We just have so far, and if we *can* make our optimization convex, then this is better • i.e., if you have two options (convex and non-convex), and its not clear one is better than the other, may as well pick the convex one • The field of optimization deals with finding optimal solutions for non-convex problems • Sometimes possible, sometimes not possible • One strategy: random r Con-versely, for any x 0;x 1, consider g(t) = f(x 0 + t(x 1 x 0)) and let t= 0 and t= 1. In this lecture, we introduce a class of cutting plane methods for convex optimization and present an analysis of a special case of it: the ellipsoid method.
