Your problem is not reproducible, because you have not provided all needed inputs.
We don;t know what your model is supposed to be or do, so we can’t tell you whether you have implemented it correctly, and we don;t know what the input data is. Try following thew advice at https://yalmip.github.io/debuggingunbounded/
yes. but my problem is an LMI problem and Yalmip cant solve this kind of problem. I wanna solve it by cvx. if I send you the problem can u help me?
thank u so much for your help.
Actually, YALMIP can solve LMIs. The advice in the link applies to CVX as well as to YALMIP, but is written as a help for YALMIP. Have you at least tried placing bounds on all the variables and see what happens?
Your problem is not reproducible by people such as me who don;t have the Phased Array System Toolbox.

yes I;ve tried them and found unbounded variable. but I don,t know how can I solve it. I can;t manipulate the theory of the problem. any advice?
thanks.
Place finite lower and upper bounds on all elements of all variables. Is an optimal solution achieved, with at least some variable element at some bound?
Have you checked all input data to see whether any of it is many orders of magnitude from 1? Make sure the finite lower and upper bounds are not too big, for instance+ or - 1e3 might be o.k., but don;t use + or - 1e8.
thanks for your response. I checked my input data, none of them is many orders of 1.
Actually, my objective function is a line (called t). maximization of a line(without any constraint on it) is infinite. But I expect when a constraint applied on it result becomes finite. In fact the constraint that limits the objective function is:
z == e1 * t + ctranspose(F1)* (diag(F1 * Z1 * ctranspose(F1))+…
d .* diag(F2 * Z2 * ctranspose(F2)));
where matrix F1, F2 and d are known. e1 is a zero vector with the first element of one
e1 = zeros(N,1);e1(1) = 1;
I wanna maximize t on z, Z1, Z2. but it seems during solving the problem(by cvx solver) this constraint doesn;t considered, so results become unbounded.
I suggest you further investigate why the constraint you think should be preventing unboundedness is not. At the optimum solution of the problem with the added bounds, are all your constraints satisfied? If you the increase the added bound which became active, does CVX again report an optimum solution, is the objective function larger, and are all the constraints still satisfied? If so, you should reassess what is happening with your initial constraint. Note that in assessing satisfaction of the constraints, you need to recompute all CVX expressiois starting from the optimal variable values, because the values of CVX expressions after it completes might not be the true values corresponding to the optimal variable values, and which CVX was using internally.
