Pseudo-Separable Quadratic L-Convex Minimization

For a finite set V={1,2,...,n} and a family of univariate discrete convex functions and indexed by and , the function defined by

is an L-convex function [1,2].

Here we consider a quadratic L-convex function:

In this web application, you can choose the dimension n from 1 to 10.

dimension n = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

You can input parameters s_ij, t_ij, a_i, b_i and c_i in the ranges 0 < s_ij, a_i<100 and -100< t_ij, b_i, c_i< 100.

You can also input an initial solution x.

(Note: "Reset" button resets your inputs to default values.
An inappropriate input value will be replaced with a random number.)
