- After some efforts and pages of manipulations of an engineering problem
- in signal processing I have got a nice mathematical formulation for it:
-
- Find a real vector d constrained to a convex subspace subject to
-
- min | A * P |
- 2
-
- where P is a real orthogonal projector on the subspace
- of span{ diag(d) * H }, i.e.
-
- T 2 -1 T
- P = diag(d) * H * {H *diag(d) H} * H * diag(d)
-
- and A,H are both known real matrices. However, H is m*n with m>n and
- satisfies
- T
- H * H = identity(n).
-
- I think there exists no closed form solution and therefore I am looking
- for an optimization procedure locally (if not globally) minimizing the
- above cost function. Iterative schemes, similar to that of Steiglitz/
- McBride or the IQML algorithm, whereby d(i+1) is calculated by using
- a fixed d(i) in the matrix inverse, do not converge to a local minimum
- close to the initial value of d. Methods involving first and second
- order derivatives might be computationally too expensive for this
- application.
-
- I am not an expert in this area and any suggestions are welcome.
