For the Cameron-Martin space of Wiener measure path $h(s)=\mu s$, the Cameron-Martin theorem says that translation of Brownian motion by this linear function changes its law through time $t$ by the density

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.

Linear programming optimizes a linear function subject to finitely many linear equalities and inequalities.

For each fixed $x$ in the nonnegative orthant, the map $A\mapsto x^{T}Ax$ is a continuous linear function on the vector space of real symmetric matrices. Thusis an intersection of closed half-spaces, using the Frobenius inner product $⟨A,B{⟩}_F=\mathrm{tr}(AB)$ on this space. Arbitrary intersections of closed sets are closed, so $K$ is closed.

If $A,B\in K$ and $s,t\ge 0$, then $x^T(sA+tB)x=s{x}^{T}Ax+t{x}^{T}Bx\ge 0$ for every $x\ge 0$. Therefore $sA+tB\in K$, including the zero matrix when $s=t=0$. HenceThe copositive cone is defined in the real space of symmetric matrices; symmetry is needed later to recover every matrix entry from these quadratic forms.

The required linear program isThere are $2n$ inequality constraints and one equality constraint, all independent of $x$.

The feasible set is the capped simplex, a nonempty compact set. A linear function attains its maximum at an extreme point; the previous part identifies these as the indicators of $k$-element subsets. At such a vector, the objective is the sum of the selected coordinates. Maximizing selects the $k$ largest coordinates, including when some are negative or tied. Equivalently, $f_k$ is the support function called the sum of the largest components.

This is the Baumslag-Solitar group $G=\mathrm{BS}(1,2)$. Its defining relation gives, by mathematical induction,In the cyclic subgroup $H=⟨a⟩$ with generator $a$,whereas in $G$, with generators $a,b$,If inclusion were a $(\lambda ,\epsilon )$-quasi-isometric embedding, its lower bound would implyfor every $n$, which is impossible because an exponential function eventually dominates every linear function. Hence $H$ is not quasi-isometrically embedded; it is an exponentially distorted subgroup.

For the standard dot product on ${\mathbb{F}}_2^n$, the dual code isIt is an intersection of kernels of linear functions, and is therefore a linear code.

Let $\sigma$ denote cyclic right shift. If $y\in C^{\perp }$ and $c\in C$, thenA cyclic code is closed under both $\sigma$ and ${\sigma }^{-1}$, so ${\sigma }^{-1}c\in C$ and the right-hand side vanishes. Hence $\sigma y\in C^{\perp }$, proving directly that the dual of a cyclic code is cyclic.

Identify words with polynomials in ${\mathbb{F}}_2[X]/(X^n-1)$. If the generator polynomial of a cyclic code is the monic divisor $g(X)$ andthen the generator polynomial of $C^{\perp }$ is the monic reciprocalEquivalently, the parity-check polynomial of one code becomes, after reversal, the generator polynomial of its dual.

The probability simplex consists of vectors of nonnegative weights summing to one. It is the convex hull of the coordinate vectors. A linear function $r^{T}x$ has maximum ${\max }_i{r}_i$ on this simplex; equality holds exactly when the weights are supported on maximizing indices.

A semidefinite program optimizes a linear function subject to equalities between affine functions and positive semidefinite matrix inequalities. It generalizes linear programming: a diagonal matrix is a positive semidefinite matrix exactly when its diagonal entries are nonnegative. Matrix trace expresses the objective as $⟨C,X⟩=\mathrm{tr}(CX)$ for real symmetric matrices.
