Abstract
The MATLAB toolbox YALMIP is introduced. It is described how YALMIP can be used to model and solve optimization problems typically occurring in systems and control theory. In this paper, free MATLAB toolbox YALMIP, developed initially to model SDPs and solve these by interfacing eternal solvers. The toolbox makes development of optimization problems in general, and control oriented SDP problems in particular, extremely simple. In fact, learning 3 YALMIP commands is enough for most users to model and solve the optimization problems

Graph Implementations for Nonsmooth Convex Programs

TL;DR: Graph implementations as mentioned in this paper is a generic method for representing a convex function via its epigraph, described in a disciplined convex programming framework, which allows a very wide variety of smooth and nonsmooth convex programs to be easily specified and efficiently solved.

The Convex Geometry of Linear Inverse Problems

TL;DR: This paper provides a general framework to convert notions of simplicity into convex penalty functions, resulting in convex optimization solutions to linear, underdetermined inverse problems.

Random numbers certified by Bell's theorem.

TL;DR: It is shown that the non-local correlations of entangled quantum particles can be used to certify the presence of genuine randomness, and it is thereby possible to design a cryptographically secure random number generator that does not require any assumption about the internal working of the device.

CVXPY: A Python-Embedded Modeling Language for Convex Optimization

TL;DR: CVXPY allows the user to express convex optimization problems in a natural syntax that follows the math, rather than in the restrictive standard form required by solvers.

Interior-Point Polynomial Algorithms in Convex Programming

TL;DR: This book describes the first unified theory of polynomial-time interior-point methods, and describes several of the new algorithms described, e.g., the projective method, which have been implemented, tested on "real world" problems, and found to be extremely efficient in practice.

The explicit linear quadratic regulator for constrained systems

TL;DR: A technique to compute the explicit state-feedback solution to both the finite and infinite horizon linear quadratic optimal control problem subject to state and input constraints is presented, and it is shown that this closed form solution is piecewise linear and continuous.

Global Optimization with Polynomials and the Problem of Moments

TL;DR: It is shown that the problem of finding the unconstrained global minimum of a real-valued polynomial p(x): R n to R, in a compact set K defined byPolynomial inequalities reduces to solving an (often finite) sequence of convex linear matrix inequality (LMI) problems.
