Abstract

The exponential cone is an absolute beast with respect to its usages in mathematical modeling, and has proven to be a computational stable and high-performant element of the MOSEK optimization core. In this talk we will explore some of its surprising use cases, e.g. in machine learning, before unveiling the successful story of the "projection onto the exponential cone" algorithm. The Moreau decomposition theorem, the KKT conditions, the convex analysis book by Rockafellar, unconstrained root finding and floating-point safeguards are all parts of this story.
