- Graph Implementations for Nonsmooth Convex Programs by
M. Grant and S. Boyd.
Recent Advances in Learning and Control (tribute to M. Vidyasagar),
V. Blondel, S. Boyd, and H. Kimura, editors, Springer, 2008, pp. 95-110.
This paper is to be preferred over the next two for two reasons: one, it is considerably
shorter; and two, it makes use of the current, public version of
CVX as opposed to an earlier prototype.
- Disciplined Convex Programming
by M. Grant, S. Boyd, and Y. Ye.
Chapter in
Global Optimization: From Theory to Implementation, L. Liberti and
N. Maculan, eds., in the book series Nonconvex Optimization and Applications,
Springer, 2006, pp. 155-210.
This paper is the first public presentation of disciplined convex
programming and how it can be supported in modeling software.
The discussion refers heavily to a never-released prototype of
CVX, our modeling software. The current
version is considerably different than this prototype.
- Disciplined Convex Programming
by M. Grant.
Ph.D. dissertation, Stanford University, 2005.
My dissertation covers the same material presented in the above paper, but expands
the introduction and covers a number of more tedious but important
details such as the conversion to solvable form and the
recovery of equivalent dual information. Like the paper, it refers to a
never-released prototype of CVX.
A full reading is recommended only as a cure for insomnia; but the
introduction provides a good overview of convex optimization, the practical
challenges to solving convex problems, and our proposed solution.
- Efficient Convex Optimization for Engineering Design by
S. Boyd, L. Vandenberghe, and M. Grant.
In proceedings of the IFAC Symposium on Robust Control Design, Rio de Janiero,
Brazil, September 1994, pp. 14-23.
Not a paper discussing disciplined convex programming per se; indeed, this work came
well before the notion of DCP was developed. But as an early example of optimization-based
control design it might be of interest anyway. Besides, it is short!
