Optimization of a <linear function> subject to affine constraints and membership in a <closed convex cone>. Choosing the <positive semidefinite cone> gives <semidefinite programming>; other choices include <copositive optimization> and <completely positive optimization>. <Dual cones> produce scalar-product bounds on feasible objectives.
