Analysis of Performance Degradation Using Convex Optimization for a Mismatched Receiver

In the study of digital communication theory/system, one basic problem is the understanding of the maximum loss of performance of an optimized system assuming certain channel parameters when these assumed parameters are invalid. Practical wireless communication systems may encounter complicated fading phenomena and various copper wired communication systems operating in crowded environments (e.g., with transmission cables inside wiring bundles in an airplane or on a ship), the transmission channels may experience severe cross-talk interferences.
