The program can be run.But Status: Inaccurate/Solved！
I can’t figure out why the result I get has status inaccurate/solved.
I have the following optimization problem:
I have formulated the above optimization problem as follows:
%ANTrue:Anchor nodes coordinate matrix(N rows and 2 columns)
%p:The received signal strength(RSS) at the anchor nodes--Column vector
%T:The speed of light multiplied by the time of arrival--T=c*ri Formula 1
%s:Estimated location of the target node
%Speed of light
c=3e8;
%Number of anchor nodes
[N,~] = size(ANTrue);

a = ANTrue';

The first thing is to remove cvx_precision best
which I recommend you never use.
if that resolves things, great. Otherwise, look at the scaling of your input data (which you haven’t provided). Change units, if necessary, so that all non-zero input data is within s small number of orders of magnitude of 1.
You can also try another solver such as SDPT3, or if available to you, Mosek. If you use Mosek, pay attention to any warning it might issue.
Your attempt to solve via CVX is commendable but lack the output
details of both solvers SeDuMi as well as SDPT3 or even Mosek as pointed out
by @Mark_L_Stone. For a start and showcase the benefit of the learning
audience & moderators for constructive particpation , it’s best to include
your full reference paper to best understand your nature of your program.
I removed cvx_precision best. You’re right.
Status: Solved
However, the final result is still very different from the results in the literature. I’m thinking about why this is happening?
Hi, Supra
It seems that there is no function to upload PDF. This is the DOI number of the document:10.1109/LWC.2020.3037095
I removed cvx_precision best. Status: Solved
Is there a significant difference in the optimal objective value? if not, but the argmin significantly differs, that could be due to non-uniqueness of the solution.
I run it 20 times. The optimal value range is about 100 to 500. This should not be a significant difference.
My input data is as follows:
a:
0 0 0 15 30 30 30 15
0 15 30 30 30 15 0 0

Can you be kind enough to produce the full solver outputs for both SeDuMi and SDPT 3
for the benefit of the audience and moderators for proper evaluation and assessment.
Are you referring to the following paper

Unfortunately I’m unable to access nor. download . Can you be kind enough to extend the pdf
to my email address at supraletchimi@gmail.com. and thanking you in advance?

Since the CVX forum cannot upload PDF files, I will send the PDF to your email. Note that these files are only used for learning and communication, please do not use them for commercial purposes.
What was varied across these runs? Different values of \zeta? Are there random numbers being generated somewhere for the input? If you have not duplicated the inputs used in the paper, you shouldn’t expect to duplicate its output.
The final result can be viewed in the picture I responded to supra above. These estimated coordinates are obviously wrong. I was overwhelmed by this problem.
you are assumed to be familiar with your model and problem. if the model makes sense and you do exactly as the author told you to do in simulation part, it should work out.
if it doesn’t, i have 2 bold guesses based on your doing estimation : the uncertainty(noise, etc.) you add into the simulation is too big. or 20 times of run is not enough for monte carlo simulation(the paper run 5000?) . it might not be a cvx problem.
Thanks! I have solved the problem described above. It turns out that there is a problem with the code. Unfortunately, I still haven’t achieved the effect of the original text.
