Convex optimization of optimization problem is convex. "Standard form" is the usual and perhaps most intuitive form of describing a convex minimization problem. It consists of the following three parts: A convex minimization problem in standard form is thus written as In reality, this form of problem is exactly equivalent to a problem constrained by only equalities. You can rephrase the problem without equality constraints by replacing each equality constraint formula_52 with a pair of inequality constraints formula_64 and formula_65, and the previous analysis holds. This fact is why formula_53 being both convex and concave, i.e. both formula_53 and formula_68 are convex,
Cylindrical lens Cylindrical lens A cylindrical lens is a lens which focuses light into a line instead of a point, as a spherical lens would. The curved face or faces of a cylindrical lens are sections of a cylinder, and focus the image passing through it into a line parallel to the intersection of the surface of the lens and a plane tangent to it. The lens compresses the image in the direction perpendicular to this line, and leaves it unaltered in the direction parallel to it (in the tangent plane). In a light sheet microscope, a cylindrical lens is placed in
