Lecture 5 | Convex Optimization I (Stanford)

Professor Stephen Boyd, of the Stanford University Electrical Engineering department, lectures on the different problems that are included within convex optimization for the course, Convex Optimization I (EE 364A).

Convex Optimization I concentrates on recognizing and solving convex optimization problems that arise in engineering. Convex sets, functions, and optimization problems. Basics of convex analysis. Least-squares, linear and quadratic programs, semidefinite programming, minimax, extremal volume, and other problems. Optimality conditions, duality theory, theorems of alternative, and applications. Interior-point methods. Applications to signal processing, control, digital and analog circuit design, computational geometry, statistics, and mechanical engineering.

..... I think the editing / camera deserves kudos

[pbouf77]

Why does lecture 5 not have a high-quality version, the other lectures do...

The Chinese guy is so stupid.

@Alveuz

It did in the first video, I think. Indeed he really is Chinese ;-)

[Alveuz]

@kakhakaladzemilan how do you know he is chinese? Since the camera never showed him :P

[kakhakaladzemilan]

why the chinese guy keep asking trivial question ?

good class
