minimize sum(X./(Y-X)), where X is a constant matrix, Y-X>0, thank you !
Presuming X has all entries nonnegative, the following will work
cvx_begin
variable Y(size(X))
minimize(sum(sum(X.*inv_pos(Y-X))))
cvx_end
Of course, this will drive elements of Y to be large and the objective to within tolerance of 0, unless there are other constraints.
Thanks a lot, howerer, the compilation still fails according to your form.
Then you need to show us your X. Your expression is not convex for an arbitrary X.
X = rand(5,1); Y = -1/2*log(inverseSINR), inverseSINR = (sigma + Gtilde*P)./(Gdiag.*P); the variable is vector P(5), thank you !
My program will run with your X.
Now you have provided a different problem. I donât know what your new problem is. You have not provided all input values. You have not specified what the objective function is. You need to provide a complete and unambiguous specification of your problem. Have you proven it is convex?
The form is convex, since X is a constant matrix, the Y is also convex using the GP (please refer to http://cvxr.com/cvx/examples/), so the problem is convex. Thanks a lot.
Well, I still donât know what your model is. If your model is convex as you say, because it matches a CVX example, then write your program in that form and it should work. Beware that you can not necessarily mix and match stuff from GP mode and non-GP mode and still have a valid convex problem.
Note the restriction on the argument of inv_pos:
help inv_pos
inv_pos Reciprocal of a positive quantity.
inv_pos(X) returns 1./X if X is positive, and +Inf otherwise.
X must be real.For matrices and N-D arrays, the function is applied to each element. Disciplined convex programming information: inv_pos is convex and nonincreasing; therefore, when used in CVX specifications, its argument must be concave (or affine).
My model is as follows:
% minimize minimize(sum(sum(D.inv_pos(-1/2log(inverseSINR)-D))))
% s.t. Pmin <= P <= Pmax
% inverseSINR <= (1/SINR_min);
% D <= -1/2log(inverseSINR);
The argument of inv_pos is -1/2*log(), which is not concave as required. So your program violates CVXâs rules, and so you have not proven convexity.
If I use the objective function: maximize(sum(-1/2*log(inverseSINR)-D)), the problem can be solved using the CVX, it means that the problem is convex, the argument of the objective function with your form, which may be incorrect form.
Please show a complete program, with results, in which that objective is accepted by CVX.
You have not shown your problem is convex ( I still don;t know what it is, by the way). Math, convexity propagation, and CVX are not like legal arguments in which you can have different half proofs which donât fit together and claim you have proven something.
You can substitute
minimize(sum(inv_pos(-1/2*log(inverseSINR)-D)))
for the objective function, and that will also be accepted.
When you show a complete working CVX program implementing the model you want, that will be a convexity proof. But the whole thing must either be in gp mode, or not gp mode; you canât mix together rules which are allowed in one but not the other of gp and non-gp modes.
I use the objective function minimize(sum(inv_pos(-1/2*log(inverseSINR)-D))) can not be solved the problem, the errors are the similar to the above, it means that the argument is the function inv_pos, thank you!
I really donât know what you want to solve.
If you substitute minimize(sum(inv_pos(-1/2*log(inverseSINR)-D))) for the objective in your most recently posted program (gp mode), the problem is accepted by CVX. Whether the problem is feasible (has a feasible solution) is another matter.
Please show you program with the minimize(sum(inv_pos(-1/2*log(inverseSINR)-D))) for the objective in your most recently posted program (gp mode) and the results. Thanks a lot!

Optimal value (cvx_optval): +InfI donât understand your note, in other words, I canât use the exponetial.m, can you help me? I canât implement your posted program. Thank youďź
I was referring to https://github.com/hfawzi/cvxquad .
However, the result is the same using CVX"s successive approximation method (using CVX, as provided).
Also note, as can be seen in the program listing, that I used D = rand(n,1); which you included as a comment, rather than loading a mat file which I donât have.
Here is the configuration I used:
CVX Version 2.1, Build 1123 (cff5298)
MATLAB version: 8.3 (R2014a)
OS: Windows 7 amd64 version 6.1
âMyâ program can produce an optimal (finite) solution, depending on the value of D.
I suggest that you try to run it a new MATLAB session, in case your old session got corrupted. And use CVX 2.1, not CVX 3.0beta.
