$LaTeX: H(\omega) = h(0) + h(1)e^{-j\omega} + \cdots + h(N-1)e^{-j(N-1)\omega}$  where  $LaTeX: h(n)\in\mathbb{C}^N$ denotes impulse response.

For a low pass filter, frequency domain specifications are:

$LaTeX: \begin{array}{ll} \frac{1}{\delta_1}\leq|H(\omega)|\leq\delta_1\,, &\omega\in[0,\omega_p]\\ |H(\omega)|\leq\delta_2\,, &\omega\in[\omega_s\,,\pi] \end{array}$

To minimize peak magnitude of $LaTeX: h\,$ , the problem becomes

$LaTeX: \begin{array}{cll} \textrm{minimize} &\|h\|_\infty\\ \textrm{subject~to} &\frac{1}{\delta_1}\leq|H(\omega)|\leq\delta_1\,, &\omega\in[0,\omega_p]\\ &|H(\omega)|\leq\delta_2\,, &\omega\in[\omega_s\,,\pi] \end{array}$

But this problem statement is nonconvex.

$LaTeX: g \triangleq \left[

 \begin{array}{c} h(n) \\ h(n-1) \\ \vdots \\ h(n-N) \\ \end{array} \right]\in\mathbb{C}^{N^2}

$

is defined by concatenation of time-shifted versions of $LaTeX: h\,$ .

Then

$LaTeX: G\triangleq gg^\mathrm{H}=\,\left[\begin{array}{*{20}c} h(n)h(n)^{\rm H} & h(n)h(n-1)^{\rm H} & h(n)h(n-2)^{\rm H} & \cdots & h(n)h(n-N)^{\rm H}\\ h(n-1)h(n)^{\rm H} & h(n-1)h(n-1)^{\rm H} & h(n-1)h(n-2)^{\rm H} & \cdots & h(n-1)h(n-N)^{\rm H}\\ h(n-2)h(n)^{\rm H} & h(n-2)h(n-1)^{\rm H} & h(n-2)h(n-2)^{\rm H} & \ddots & h(n-2)h(n-N)^{\rm H}\\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \ddots & \vdots\\ h(n-N)h(n)^{\rm H} & h(n-N)h(n-1)^{\rm H} & h(n-N)h(n-2)^{\rm H} & \cdots & h(n-N)h(n-N)^{\rm H} \end{array}\right]\in\mathbb{C}^{N^2\times N^2}$

is a positive semidefinite rank 1 matrix.

Summing along each of $LaTeX: 2N-1\,$ subdiagonals gives entries of the autocorrelation function $LaTeX: r\,$ of $LaTeX: h\,$ .

In particular, the main diagonal of $LaTeX: G\,$ holds squared entries of $LaTeX: h\,$ .

Minimizing $LaTeX: \|h\|_\infty$ is therefore equivalent to minimizing $LaTeX: \|\textrm{diag}(G)\|_\infty$ .

Define $LaTeX: I_n\triangleq\,$...

By spectral factorization, $LaTeX: R(\omega)=|H(\omega)|^2\,$ , an equivalent problem is:

$LaTeX: \begin{array}{cll} \textrm{minimize} &\|\textrm{diag}(G)\|_\infty\\ \textrm{subject~to} & g^\mathrm{H} = \left[ h^\mathrm{H}(n) \,\, h^\mathrm{H}(n-1) \,\, \ldots \,\, h^\mathrm{H}(n-N)\right] &\\ & R(\omega) = r(0)+\!\sum\limits_{n=1}^{N-1}2r(n)\cos(\omega n)\\ &\frac{1}{\delta_1^2}\leq R(\omega)\leq\delta_1^2 &\omega\in[0,\omega_p]\\ & R(\omega)\leq\delta_2^2 & \omega\in[\omega_s\,,\pi]\\ & R(\omega)\geq0 & \omega\in[0,\pi]\\ & r(n)=\frac{1}{n}\textrm{trace}(I_{n-N}G) &n=1\ldots N\\ & r(n)=\frac{1}{n-N}\textrm{trace}(I_{n-N}G) &n=N+1\ldots 2N-1\\ & G\succeq0\\ & \textrm{rank}(G) = 1 \end{array}$

Excepting the rank constraint, this problem is convex.
