Conic optimization
open-in-new
<p>Conic optimization is a subfield of <a href="/facts/Convex_optimization/7D6U4MTN">convex optimization</a> that studies problems consisting of minimizing a <a href="/facts/Convex_function/IbzG5SLF">convex function</a> over the intersection of an <a href="/facts/Affine_subspace/tlvI3oX1">affine subspace</a> and a <a href="/facts/Convex_cone/h1tARfw4">convex cone</a>. </p><p>The class of conic optimization problems includes some of the most well known classes of convex optimization problems, namely <a href="/facts/Linear_programming/GduXFQxT">linear</a> and <a href="/facts/Semidefinite_programming/pFN25EKE">semidefinite programming</a>. </p>
