Nonnegative Matrix Theory and its Applications to Communication Network Problems
Abstract: Motivated by both theoretical interests and industry problems in wireless
communication, we address resource allocation problems such as Shannon
rate maximization, with a focus on resolving the notorious difficulties
due to nonconvexity using new tools in nonnegative matrix theory,
nonlinear Perron-Frobenius theory and optimization theory. We conclude the
talk by highlighting new theoretical ideas extracted in these works and
their impact on industry trends.
