An Interior-Point Method with Polynomial Complexity and Superlinear Convergence for Linear Complementarity Problems

For linear programming, a primal-dual interior-point algorithm was recently constructed by Zhang and Tapia that achieves both polynomial complexity and Q-superlinear convergence (Q-quadratic in the nondegenerate case). In this paper, we extend their results to quadratic programming and linear complementarity problems

Introducing Interior-Point Methods for Introductory Operations Research Courses and/or Linear Programming Courses

In recent years the introduction and development of Interior-Point Methods has had a profound impact on optimization theory as well as practice, influencing the field of Operations Research and related areas. Development of these methods has quickly led to the design of new and efficient optimization codes particularly for Linear Programming. Consequently, there has been an increasing need to introduce theory and methods of this new area in optimization into the appropriate undergraduate and first year graduate courses such as introductory Operations Research and/or Linear Programming courses, Industrial Engineering courses and Math Modeling courses. The objective of this paper is to discuss the ways of simplifying the introduction of Interior-Point Methods for students who have various backgrounds or who are not necessarily mathematics majors

Convergence Analysis of an Inexact Feasible Interior Point Method for Convex Quadratic Programming

In this paper we will discuss two variants of an inexact feasible interior point algorithm for convex quadratic programming. We will consider two different neighbourhoods: a (small) one induced by the use of the Euclidean norm which yields a short-step algorithm and a symmetric one induced by the use of the infinity norm which yields a (practical) long-step algorithm. Both algorithms allow for the Newton equation system to be solved inexactly. For both algorithms we will provide conditions for the level of error acceptable in the Newton equation and establish the worst-case complexity results
