[docs]class SuppFunc: """ Given a list of CVXPY Constraint objects :math:`\\texttt{constraints}` involving a real CVXPY Variable :math:`\\texttt{x}`, consider the convex set .. math:: S = \\{ v : \\text{it's possible to satisfy all } \\texttt{constraints} \\text{ when } \\texttt{x.value} = v \\}. This object represents the *support function* of :math:`S`. This is the convex function .. math:: y \\mapsto \\max\\{ \\langle y, v \\rangle : v \\in S \\}. The support function is a fundamental object in convex analysis. It's extremely useful for expressing dual problems using `Fenchel duality <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenchel%27s_duality_theorem>`_. Parameters ---------- x : Variable This variable cannot have any attributes, such as PSD=True, nonneg=True, symmetric=True, etc... constraints : list[Constraint] Usually, these are constraints over :math:`\\texttt{x}`, and some number of auxiliary CVXPY Variables. It is valid to supply :math:`\\texttt{constraints = []}`. Examples -------- If :math:`\\texttt{h = cp.SuppFunc(x, constraints)}`, then you can use :math:`\\texttt{h}` just like any other scalar-valued atom in CVXPY. For example, if :math:`\\texttt{x}` was a CVXPY Variable with :math:`\\texttt{x.ndim == 1}`, you could do the following: .. code:: z = cp.Variable(shape=(10,)) A = np.random.standard_normal((x.size, 10)) c = np.random.rand(10) objective = h(A @ z) - c @ z prob = cp.Problem(cp.Minimize(objective), []) prob.solve() Notes ----- You are allowed to use CVXPY Variables other than :math:`\\texttt{x}` to define :math:`\\texttt{constraints}`, but the set :math:`S` only consists of objects (vectors or matrices) with the same shape as :math:`\\texttt{x}`. It's possible for the support function to take the value :math:`+\\infty` for a fixed vector :math:`\\texttt{y}`. This is an important point, and it's one reason why support functions are actually formally defined with the supremum ":math:`\\sup`" rather than the maximum ":math:`\\max`".
