Error with Eigenvalue Optimization

1

While running this code

cvx_begin sdp
n = 6; 
k = 2;
A = randn(n);
A = A'*A;
variable X(n,n) symmetric
X == semidefinite(n);
I = eye(n);
maximize (trace(A * X))
subject to
        trace(X) == k;
        I - X == semidefinite(n);
cvx_end

I am getting these errors that seems to be unfamiliar:

Status: Error
Optimal value (cvx_optval): NaN
Error using validate (line 65)
validate: C is not symmetric
Error in validate (line 65)
        error('validate: C is not symmetric');

   [blk,At,C,b,blkdim,numblk,parbarrier] = validate(blk,At,C,b,par,parbarrier);

Error in cvxprob/solve (line 424)
            [ x, status, tprec, iters ] = shim.solve( At, b, c, cones, quiet, prec, solv.settings );
Error in cvx_end (line 79)
    solve( prob );

I would be glad to hear any suggestion!

For what it’s worth, when I run your code I get no errors. Not sure what to suggest.

You might wish to submit a bug report on this at http://support.cvxr.com. However, you should also try another solver, like SeDuMi, to see if it addresses your problem.
