Lecture 1 | Convex Optimization II (Stanford)

Lecture by Professor Stephen Boyd for Convex Optimization II (EE 364B) in the Stanford Electrical Engineering department. Professor Boyd's first lecture is on the course requirements, homework assignments, and then goes into his first topic- Subgradients.

This course introduces topics such as subgradient, cutting-plane, and ellipsoid methods. Decentralized convex optimization via primal and dual decomposition. Alternating projections. Exploiting problem structure in implementation. Convex relaxations of hard problems, and global optimization via branch & bound. Robust optimization. Selected applications in areas such as control, circuit design, signal processing, and communications.
