% The projection of X0 on the proper cone K = S+^n is given by
%           minimize    ||X - X0||_F
%               s.t.    X >=0
% where X is a nxn matrix and ||.||_F is the Frobenius norm
% It is also given by: P_K(X0)_k = sum_{i=1}^{n}max{0,lam_i}v_i*v_i'
% s.t. X0= sum_{i=1}^{n}lam_i*v_i*v_i'is the eigenvalue decomposition of X0

Computing the analytical solution...Done! 
Computing the optimal solution by solving an SDP...Done!

Verifying that the analytical solution and the solution obtained 
via CVX are equal by computing ||X_star - P_K(X0)||_F: 

ans =

   2.5435e-04

Hence X_star and P_K(X0) are equal to working precision.
