User’s Guide for SeDuMi Interface 1.01

A user-friendly free Matlab package for defining Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) problems. It acts as an interface for the Self-Dual-Minimisation package SeDuMi developed by Jos F. Sturm. The functionalities of SeDuMi Interface are the following: (1) Declare an LMI problem. Five Matlab functions allow to define completely an LMI problem which can be characterised by … Read more

Strong semismoothness of eigenvalues of symmetric matrices and its application to inverse eigenvalue problems

It is well known that the eigenvalues of a real symmetric matrix are not everywhere differentiable. A classical result of Ky Fan states that each eigenvalue of a symmetric matrix is the difference of two convex functions. This directly implies that the eigenvalues of a symmetric matrix are semismooth everywhere. Based on a very recent … Read more

WASP: a Wavelet Adaptive Solver for boundary value Problems – Short Reference Manual

This is a short guide to use the Matlab package WASP designed for the numerical solution of two-point linear boundary value problems that arise typically in linear quadratic optimal control. The method relies upon an adaptive computation of discretization based on a wavelet analysis. On a given refined grid, finite differences of various order are … Read more
