PhasePack is a software library that implements a wide range of different phase retrieval algorithms and initialization methods. It can also produce comparisons between algorithms, and comes with empirical datasets for testing on real-world problems.
A number of non-convex optimization problems can be convexified by “lifting” strategies. These methods yield convex formulations at the cost of substantially increased dimensionality. PhaseMax is a new type of convex relaxation that does not require lifting; it solves problems in their original low-dimensional parameter space.
