Theorem 1.1 A convex cone \( C \) is polyhedral if and only if it is finitely generated, that is, the cone is generated by a finite number of vectors \( {b}_{1},\ldots ,{b}_{m} \) :
\[ C = \operatorname{cone}\left( {{b}_{1},\ldots ,{b}_{m}}\right) \mathrel{\text{:=}} \left\{ {\mathop{\sum }\limits_{{i = 1}}^{m}{b}_{i}{y}_{i} : {y}_{i} \geq 0, i = 1,\ldots, m}\right\} . \]
Yes
Example 1.5 The following polyhedral cone of \( {\mathcal{R}}^{2} \) in Figure 1.3 can be represented as either\n\n\[ C = \left\{ {\left( \begin{array}{l} 1 \\ 2 \end{array}\right) {y}_{1} + \left( \begin{array}{l} 2 \\ 1 \end{array}\right) {y}_{2} : {y}_{1},{y}_{2} \geq 0}\right\} \]\n\nor\n\[ C = \left\{ {x \in {\mat...

Example 1.6 Let \( C \) be a unit circle centered at the point \( \left( {1;1}\right) \) . That is, \( C = \left\{ {x \in {\mathcal{R}}^{2} : {\left( {x}_{1} - 1\right) }^{2} + {\left( {x}_{2} - 1\right) }^{2} \leq 1}\right\} \) . If \( y = \left( {2;0}\right), a = \left( {-1;1}\right) \) is a separating hyperplane vec...

Theorem 1.11 (Weak duality theorem) Let \( {\mathcal{F}}_{p} \) and \( {\mathcal{F}}_{d} \) be non-empty. Then,\n\n\[ \n{c}^{T}x \geq {b}^{T}y\;\text{ where }\;x \in {\mathcal{F}}_{p},\left( {y, s}\right) \in {\mathcal{F}}_{d}.\n\]
This theorem shows that a feasible solution to either problem yields a bound on the value of the other problem. We call \( {c}^{T}x - {b}^{T}y \) the duality gap. From this we have important results.

Theorem 1.15 (LP fundamental theorem) Given (LP) and (LD) where \( A \) has full row rank \( m \) , i) if there is a feasible solution, there is a basic feasible solution; ii) if there is an optimal solution, there is an optimal basic solution.
The above theorem reduces the task of solving a linear program to that searching over basic feasible solutions. By expanding upon this result, the simplex method, a finite search procedure, is derived. The simplex method is to proceed from one basic feasible solution (an extreme point of the feasible region) to an adja...

Theorem 1.21 (Karush-Kuhn-Tucker theorem) Let \( {x}^{ * } \) be a relative (local) minimum solution for (NP) and suppose \( {x}^{ * } \) is a regular point for the constraints, meaning that the Jacobian matrix \( \nabla h\left( {x}^{ * }\right) \) and the gradient vectors \( \nabla {g}_{j}\left( {x}^{ * }\right) \) fo...
If \( f \) is convex, \( h \) is affine, and \( g \) is concave, then \( {x}^{ * } \) is optimal if and only if \( {x}^{ * } \) is a KKT point for (NP). Thus, the necessary condition becomes sufficient.

Example 1.14 Consider the bisection method to locate a root of a continuous function \( f\left( x\right) : \mathcal{R} \rightarrow \mathcal{R} \) within interval \( \left\lbrack {0,1}\right\rbrack \), where \( f\left( 0\right) > 0 \) and \( f\left( 1\right) < 0 \) . The method calls the oracle to evaluate \( f\left( {1...
Thus, in \( \log \left( {1/\epsilon }\right) \) steps, we must have an approximate root whose distance to the root is less than \( \epsilon \) . Therefore, the bisection method is a polynomial algorithm.

Theorem 3.9 The number of total iterations of the primal potential algorithm to generate an approximate analytic center of \( {x}^{a} \), starting from \( x \in {\mathcal{X}}_{\Omega }^{ \circ } \), is bounded by \( O\left( {\mathcal{P}\left( x\right) - \mathcal{P}\left( {x}^{a}\right) }\right) \) .
Since \( \mathcal{P}\left( x\right) \) represents the logarithmic volume of the coordinate-aligned ellipsoid centered at \( s\left( x\right) \) and containing \( {\mathcal{S}}_{\Omega } \), the primal potential algorithm generates a sequence of ellipsoids whose volumes decreases at a constant rate, see Figure 3.2.
