Why I get this when using rel_entr?

1

My goal is to express \log(1+\frac {k_{20}}{(d_{20}+d_{21}x+d_{22}y)}), where k_{20},d_{20}, d_{21}, d_{22} are constant vectors (101x1), x,y are variables (101x1). \frac {k_{20}}{(d_{20}+d_{21}x+d_{22}y)} is positive.

I am using the cvxquad form this post CVXQUAD: How to use CVXQUAD's Pade Approximant instead of CVX's unreliable Successive Approximation for GP mode, log, exp, entr, rel_entr, kl_div, log_det, det_rootn, exponential cone. CVXQUAD's Quantum (Matrix) Entropy & Matrix Log related functions

and trying to express my function form this post Minimize log(1+1/x) where 0<x<inf

but I get this result

With all the 101x1 coefficients and variables, why I get a 100x1 result when using rel_entr ?

Please show a reproducible example. If you can do it with smaller arrays, for example 3 by 1 instead of 100 by 1, that would be preferred. Please include the output from cvx_version.

The code

    beta=9.0453e4;
     N=11;
     L=3000;
     for n=1:N
         x0(n,1)=300*n-300;
         y0(n,1)=0;
    end
    k20=1000*beta*ones(N,1);
    d2=(x0-L).^2+y0.^2+1e4;
    d20=d2-2*x0.*(x0-L)-2*y0.^2;
    d21=2*(x0-L);
    d22=2*y0;    
    cvx_begin
        variables x(N) y(N)
        R2=(rel_entr(d20+d21.*x+d22.*y,k20+d20+d21.*x+d22.*y)+rel_entr(k20+d20+d21.*x+d22.*y,d20+d21.*x+d22.*y))./k20;
        maximize sum(R2)
        subject to
            x(1)==0;
            y(1)==0;
            x(N)==L;
            y(N)==0;    
            d20+d21.*x+d22.*y>=1e4;
            for i=1:N-1
                square(x(i+1)-x(i))+square(y(i+1)-y(i))<=1e6;
            end
    cvx_end

This looks to me like a bug in rel_entr .

help rel_entr

rel_entr Scalar relative entropy.
rel_entr(X,Y) returns an array of the same size as X+Y with the
relative entropy function applied to each element:
{ X.*LOG(X./Y) if X > 0 & Y > 0,
rel_entr(X,Y) = { 0 if X == 0 & Y >= 0,
{ +Inf otherwise.
X and Y must either be the same size, or one must be a scalar. If X and
Y are vectors, then SUM(rel_entr(X,Y)) returns their relative entropy.
If they are PDFs (that is, if X>=0, Y>=0, SUM(X)==1, SUM(Y)==1) then
this is equal to their Kullback-Liebler divergence SUM(KL_DIV(X,Y)).
-SUM(rel_entr(X,1)) returns the entropy of X.

Disciplined convex programming information:
    rel_entr(X,Y) is convex in both X and Y, nonmonotonic in X, and
    nonincreasing in Y. Thus when used in CVX expressions, X must be
    real and affine and Y must be concave. The use of rel_entr(X,Y) in
    an objective or constraint will effectively constrain both X and Y 
    to be nonnegative, hence there is no need to add additional
    constraints X >= 0 or Y >= 0 to enforce this.
