A new primal-dual path-following interior-point algorithm for semidefinite optimization

AbstractIn this paper we present a new primal-dual path-following interior-point algorithm for semidefinite optimization. The algorithm is based on a new technique for finding the search direction and the strategy of the central path. At each iteration, we use only full Nesterov–Todd step. Moreover, we obtain the currently best known iteration bound for the algorithm with small-update method, namely, O(nlognϵ), which is as good as the linear analogue

Stat Optim Inf Comput

In this paper, an improved Interior-Point Method (IPM) for solving symmetric optimization problems is presented. Symmetric optimization (SO) problems are linear optimization problems over symmetric cones. In particular, the method can be efficiently applied to an important instance of SO, a Controlled Tabular Adjustment (CTA) problem which is a method used for Statistical Disclosure Limitation (SDL) of tabular data. The presented method is a full Nesterov-Todd step infeasible IPM for SO. The algorithm converges to |-approximate solution from any starting point whether feasible or infeasible. Each iteration consists of the feasibility step and several centering steps, however, the iterates are obtained in the wider neighborhood of the central path in comparison to the similar algorithms of this type which is the main improvement of the method. However, the currently best known iteration bound known for infeasible short-step methods is still achieved.CC999999/ImCDC/Intramural CDC HHSUnited States/2022-01-01T00:00:00Z34141814PMC820532010747vault:3716

An infeasible interior point methods for convex quadratic problems

In this paper, we deal with the study and implementation of an infeasible interior point method for convex quadratic problems (CQP). The algorithm uses a Newton step and suitable proximity measure for approximately tracing the central path and guarantees that after one feasibility step, the new iterate is feasible and suciently close to the central path. For its complexity analysis, we reconsider the analysis used by the authors for linear optimisation (LO) and linear complementarity problems (LCP). We show that the algorithm has the best known iteration bound, namely $n log (n+1)$. Finally, to measure the numerical performance of this algorithm, it was tested on convex quadratic and linear problems

A new full-NT step interior-point method for circular cone optimization

We present a full step interior-point algorithm for circular coneoptimization using Euclidean Jordan algebras. The specificity of ourmethod is to use a transformation similar to that introduced byDarvay and Tak\u27acs for the centering equations of the central path.The Nesterov and Todd symmetrization scheme is used to derive fromthe search directions. We derive the iteration bound that match thecurrently best-known iteration bound for small-update methods.</p

A new search direction of IPM for horizontal linear complementarity problems

This study presents a new search direction for the horizontal linear complementarity problem. A vector-valued function is applied to the system of xy=μe, which defines the central path. Usually, the way to get the equivalent form of the central path is using the square root function. However, in our study, we substitute a new search function formed by a different identity map, which obtains the equivalent shape of the central path using the square root function. We get the new search directions from Newton’s Method. Given this framework, we prove polynomial complexity for the Newton directions. We show that the algorithm’s complexity is O(nlognϵ), which is the same as the best-given algorithms for the horizontal linear complementarity problem

New predictor-corrector interior-point algorithm for symmetric cone horizontal linear complementarity problems

In this paper we propose a new predictor-corrector interior-point algorithm for solving P_* (κ) horizontal linear complementarity problems defined on a Cartesian product of symmetric cones, which is not based on a usual barrier function. We generalize the predictor-corrector algorithm introduced in [13] to P_* (κ)-linear horizontal complementarity problems on a Cartesian product of symmetric cones. We apply the algebraic equivalent transformation technique proposed by Darvay [9] and we use the function φ(t)=t-√t in order to determine the new search directions. In each iteration the proposed algorithm performs one predictor and one corrector step. We prove that the predictor-corrector interior-point algorithm has the same complexity bound as the best known interior-point algorithms for solving these types of problems. Furthermore, we provide a condition related to the proximity and update parameters for which the introduced predictor-corrector algorithm is well defined

New Predictor-Corrector Algorithm for Symmetric Cone Horizontal Linear Complementarity Problems

We propose a new predictor-corrector interior-point algorithm for solving Cartesian symmetric cone horizontal linear complementarity problems, which is not based on a usual barrier function. We generalize the predictor-corrector algorithm introduced in Darvay et al. (SIAM J Optim 30:2628-2658, 2020) to horizontal linear complementarity problems on a Cartesian product of symmetric cones. We apply the algebraically equivalent transformation technique proposed by Darvay (Adv Model Optim 5:51-92, 2003), and we use the difference of the identity and the square root function to determine the new search directions. In each iteration, the proposed algorithm performs one predictor and one corrector step. We prove that the predictor-corrector interior-point algorithm has the same complexity bound as the best known interior-point methods for solving these types of problems. Furthermore, we provide a condition related to the proximity and update parameters for which the introduced predictor-corrector algorithm is well defined
