An optimization problem involving matrices/tensors



Hi,

sorry if this is a repeat of a partial message, I had some problems
with Google. Since I've been banging my head over the problem below, I
would appreciate it if somebody had some fresh ideas or even solutions
concerning it. The problem is to find such a complex vector x and such
a complex orthogonal projection P that the functional

f(x, P) = \sum_{n = 1}^N (x' R_n x)Tr(P S_n)

is maximized. Here x' is the Hermitian conjugate of x, Tr denotes the
trace, and the matrices R_n and S_n are square and Hermitian. The
dimensions of the matrices R_n need not be the same as the dimension
of the matrices S_n, and neither dimensions need have anything to do
with N > 1.

Any ideas appreciated!,

regards,

-Kasimir Blomstedt
