"Invalid quadratic form(s): not a square."

Hi, everyone.I have problem to solve the following question.


Here is the code:

L = 3,K = 4;v = 2;eta = 1;sigmma = 10^-6;Q0 = 1,SINR0 = 10,M = 128;
b = beta(L,K,v);
cvx_begin sdp
variable p(L,K)
variable rho(L,K)
expression interference(L,K) 
expression interference_all(L,K)
for j = 1:L
for k = 1:K
    for l=1:L
    for i=1:K
        interference_all(l,i) = p(l,i)*b(j,l,k);
    end
    end
    interference(j,k) = sum(sum(interference_all))-p(j,k)*b(j,j,k);
end
end

minimize sum(sum(p))

subject to 
for j = 1:L 
for k = 1:L
    rho(j,k)>0;
    rho(j,k)<1;
    p(j,k)>0;
    eta*(1-rho(j,k))*(M*p(j,k)*b(j,j,k)+interference(j,k)+sigmma)>=Q0;
    rho(j,k)*p(j,k)*M*b(j,j,k)>=SINR0*(rho(j,k)*interference(j,k)+rho(j,k)*sigmma+sigmma)
end
end
cvx_end

And here is the error


`error using times>times_q (line 84)
Disciplined convex programming error:
    Invalid quadratic form(s): not a square.

Thanks for your help in advance!

You are multiplying rho and p (directly, and via interference, which is an affine function of p), which is non-convex.

Are you sure rho is supposed to be a CVX optimization) variable? If rho were input data, i.e., a MATLAB variable, not a CVX variable, then this would be convex, actually a Linear Program, and would be accepted by CVX.
