% Minimization of Peron-Frobenious norm example
% Section 4.5.4 example in Boyd & Vandenberghe "Convex Optimization"
% (see page 165-167 for more details)
%
% The goal is to minimize the spectral radius of a square matrix A
% which is elementwise nonnegative, Aij >= 0 for all i,j. In this
% case A has a positive real eigenvalue lambda_pf (the Perron-Frobenius
% eigenvalue) which is equal to the spectral radius, and thus gives 
% the fastest decay rate or slowest growth rate.
% The problem of minimizing the Perron-Frobenius eigenvalue of A,
% possibly subject to posynomial inequalities in some underlying
% variable x can be posed as a GP (for example):
%
%   minimize   lambda_pf( A(x) )
%       s.t.   f_i(x) <= 1   for i = 1,...,p
%
% where matrix A entries are some posynomial functions of variable x,
% and f_i are posynomials.
%
% We consider a specific example in which we want to find the fastest
% decay or slowest growth rate for the bacteria population governed
% by a simple dynamic model (see page 166). The problem is a GP: 
%   minimize   lambda
%       s.t.   b1*v1 + b2*v2 + b3*v3 + b4*v4 <= lambda*v1
%              s1*v1 <= lambda*v2
%              s2*v2 <= lambda*v3
%              s3*v3 <= lambda*v4
%              1/2 <= ci <= 2 
%              bi == bi^{nom}*(c1/c1^{nom})^alpha_i*(c2/c2^{nom})^beta_i
%              si == si^{nom}*(c1/c1^{nom})^gamma_i*(c2/c2^{nom})^delta_i
%
% with variables bi, si, ci, vi, lambda.
