How to express Re{fn'*A*f} in CVX?

1

fn are the solution of variable f obtained at the n-th iteration . A matrix is input data.

2

If fn is input data and f is a CVX variable, then real(fn'*A*f) is an affine expression, and can can be entered as is in CVX.

Whether your Successive Convex Approximation scheme converges to anything, let alone a global, or even local, optimum of the original problem, is another matter.

oh,i am sorry ,but the fn is not input data ,it is optimal f obtained in last iteration[eg:(n-1)th iteration]. In (n-1)th iteration, we can obtain the optimal f, and regard it as fn in n-th iteration . So i don’t know how to write fn’Af in CVX.

I think you do actually mean that fn is input data in the current problem.

fn = initial_value;
while ....
 cvx_begin
 variables f(m) ...
 minimize ...
 <constraints>
 cvx_end
 fn = f; % ets fn to the optimal value of f in the just completed optimization
end

I have left out error handling and other things. But perhaps this is roughly what you want.

I understand.Thank you very much!
