Solving semidefinite programs in polynomial time
We know that linear programs (LP) can be solved exactly in polynomial time using the ellipsoid method or an interior point method like Karmarkar's algorithm. Some LPs with super-polynomial (...

Is convex optimisation in P?
Consider a convex optimisation problem in the form
$$\begin{align}
f_0(x_1, \ldots, x_n) &\to \min \\
f_i(x_1, \ldots, x_n) & \leq 0, \quad i = 1, \ldots, m
\end{align}$$
where $f_0, f_1, \...

Hessian of non differentiable convex function
The motivation of the question is the following:
Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Consider the following objective(convex and differentiable) function $f:\mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow [0,\...
