Convex Optimization (Summer term 2019)

We will give with this lecture an introduction to basics of convex optimization theory in infinite dimensional spaces. In particular, the following properties are covered

• Convex funtions
• Constrained miminimzation problems
• Convex conjugates
• Proximal maps
• Primal and dual problem formulation
• Minimzation schemes,in particular splitting approaches

Exercises:

• One exercises sheet per week;
• Minimum 60 % of the exercises required for participating at the final exam.

Final exam: 24.7.2019, 10 am in H1

Actual exercise sheet: Exercises
