Résumé :
In this talk, we consider the problem of minimizing condition numbers over a compact convex subset of the cone of symmetric positive semi-definite n x n matrices. We show that the condition number is a Clarke regular pseudoconvex function. We prove that a global solution of the problem can be approximated by an exact or an inexact solution of a nonsmooth convex program. This asymptotic analysis provides a valuable tool for designing an implementable algorithm for solving the problem of minimizing condition numbers.
