It has been proven to be an important tool for solving problems arising from various applications, providing solutions to a broad spectrum of areas such as multi-antenna and multiuser communications, networking, sensor networks, array processing, digital filtering, compressed sensing, and biomedical engineering. Its prevalence may be demonstrated by the fact that there have been various workshops, special journal issues, and special conference sessions dedicated to this subject. There are two merits that lead to its present success. First, many seemingly difficult, nonconvex optimization problems encountered in applications can be reformulated as convex optimization problems, the globally optimal solution of which can be numerically found by reliable, readily available algorithms (usually the interior-point algorithms). Second, some very hard problems can essentially be approximated by convex optimization in a high-performance efficient fashion. Biography vProf. Daniel P.
