Citing CVX

If you are actively using CVX in teaching, research, or applications, and haven’t yet told us about it, please do so! Drop us an email. It is truly encouraging to hear about new uses for CVX, and we like to keep track of geographic and technical diversity of our user base. And of course, it is always a pleasure to receive an email that is not a bug report!

Are you using CVX in research work to be published? If so, please include explicit mention of our work in your publication. We suggest language such as this:

To solve problem (17) we used CVX, a package for specifying and solving convex programs [1],[2].
