Convex optimization global minimum

  • Can a convex function have a local minimum?

    It's actually possible for a convex function to have multiple local minima, but the set of local minima must in that case form a convex set, and they must all have the same value.
    So, for instance, the convex function f(x)=max{‖x‖−1,0} has a minimum of 0 for all ‖x‖≤1..

  • Does a convex function always have a global minimum?

    If f is strictly convex, then there exists at most one local minimum of f in X.
    Consequently, if it exists it is the unique global minimum of f in X.May 29, 2018.

  • How do you prove a point is global minimum?

    A point a is called a global minimum of f if f(a) ≤ f(x) for all x..

  • What are the conditions for a global minimum?

    We say x ∈ X is a global minimum of F on X if f(x) ≤ f(y) for all y ∈ X.
    If the inequality is strict, then we have a strict global minimum.
    We seek conditions whereby we can tell if x∗ ∈ X is a local maximum or minimum.
    DF(x∗) = 0..

  • What is the global minimum of a convex set?

    If f is convex, then any local minimum of f in X is also a global minimum.
    Proof.
    Suppose f is convex, and let x∗ be a local minimum of f in X.
    Then for some neighborhood N ⊆ X about x∗, we have f(x) ≥ f(x∗) for all x ∈ N.May 29, 2018.

  • The Convex Feasible Set Algorithm is a fast algorithm for solving motion planning problems with convex objective functions and non-convex constraints.
    It transforms the non-convex problem into a sequence of convex problems and solves them iteratively.

    If the inequality is strict, then we have a strict global minimum.
    We seek conditions whereby we can tell if x∗ ∈ X is a local maximum or minimum.

If f is convex, then any local minimum of f in X is also a global minimum. Proof. Suppose f is convex, and let x∗ be a local minimum of f in X. Then for some neighborhood N ⊆ X about x∗, we have f(x) ≥ f(x∗) for all x ∈ N.
The following are useful properties of convex optimization problems: every local minimum is a global minimum; the optimal set is convex; if the objective function is strictly convex, then the problem has at most one optimal point.
