How to solve the problem which is a sum of convex and nonconvex functions?

289 Views Asked by At

I attempt to solve an optimization which is a sum of two convex functions and one non-convex function described as follows:

$$g(x,y) = a{\log_2}{\left( {1 + x} \right)} + b\log_2 \left[ 1 + c(x - dy) \right] - x(y+e)$$

The two logarithm terms are convex (can prove the convexity using hessian matrix) while the third term in the function $g(x,y)$ is non-convex. Could anyone give me a suggestion to solve this problem? Thanks a lot.
