Write problem containing inverses as Semi Definite Programming












1












$begingroup$


Let $vinmathbb{R}^m$ and positive semidefinite $Minmathbb{S}^m$ be fixed. For all $xinmathbb{R}^n$, let $A(x)=A_0+sum_{i=1}^nx_iA_i$, where $A_0,...,A_ninmathbb{S}^m$ are fixed. Write $$begin{array}{rl}text{minimize}&v'A(x)^{-1}v+text{tr}(A(x)^{-1}M)\text{subject to}&A(x)succ 0end{array}$$ as an SDP.



The objective function is linear in $A(x)^{-1}$. I tried to use duality, but I couldn't minimize the Lagrangian over $x$ since $A(x)^{-1}$ and $A(x)$ were both present.

    Use Schur complement to model things like $tgeq v^TA^{-1}v$.
