Failed Status and optimal value NAN

I am running below codes on MATLAB and licensed cvx solver SDPT3 4.0.
As a result, I am getting Failed status. Also, I have tried use SeDuMi and Mosek to solve it, they both returned that:Infeasilbe.
So I want to know what’s the problem or how can I modify the model.
Thanks.

Your code is missing the right-hand side variables in cnr=rrh_fad./(N0*Bw); and therefore is not reproducible.

Given use of log, your program is invoking the not very reliable CVX successive approximation method. I recommend you install CVXQUAD https://github.com/hfawzi/cvxquad , including its exponential.m replacement for CVX’s version. This is sufficient for your program to cause CVXQUAD’s Pade approximant to be used instead of CVX’s successive approximation method. That should hopefully avoid “failure”, as you got with SDPT3 . However, your problem may still be infeasible. The most reliable assessment of that can probably be made using the MOSEK solver together with CVXQUAD;s Pade approximant.

If your program is infeasible, you will have to do more investigation to determine why. You can try eliminating certain constraints, minimizing infeasibilities instead of your current objective, etc.

Thank you for your reply. I implemented your valuable comment but still the status is infeasible, and about cnr=rrh_fad./(N0*Bw); the modified codes are as follows:

Thanks again.

Removing these constraints makes the problem feasible:

%constraint for the rate of the users
 
 for m=1:M
     ot1=obj_s3(:,:,m);
     btemp=b_nkm(:,:,m)
     ot2=obj_s3(:,:,m).*b_nkm(:,:,m);
     ot3=sum(ot2,1);
     for k=1:K
        ot3(k)-min_user_rate >= 0; 
     end
 end

To further diagnose, I declared
variable joe
changed
ot3(k)-min_user_rate >= 0;
to
ot3(k)-min_user_rate >= joe;
and changed the objective to
maximize(joe) .
The optimal value of joe = -0.100, when of course it needs to be at least 0 for your original problem to be feasible.

Even if all the other constraints are removed, the optimal value of joe is still -0.100, which shows that the “joe” constraints are what you have to focus on.

Thank you for your advises, I will investigate it.

Or another way of looking at is that your problem would be feasible if min_user_rate were set to 0 rather than the 0.1 you have imposed.
