Optimization under structural constraints is typically analyzed through projection or penalty methods, obscuring the geometric mechanism by which constraints shape admissible dynamics. We propose an operator-theoretic formulation in which…

A spectrahedron is a convex set defined by a linear matrix inequality, i.e., the set of all $x \in \mathbb{R}^g$ such that \[ L_A(x) = I + A_1 x_1 + A_2 x_2 + \dots + A_g x_g \succeq 0 \] for some symmetric matrices $A_1,\ldots,A_g$. This…
