Computational Experience with a Primal-dual Interior Point Method for Smooth Convex Placement Problems

چکیده
We present a primal-dual interior point method (IPM) for solving smooth convex optimization problems which arise during the placement of integrated circuits. The interior point method represents a substantial enhancement in flexibility verses other methods while having similar computational requirements. We illustrate that iterative solvers are efficient for calculation of search directions during optimization. Computational results are presented on a set of benchmark problems for an analysis of the method.

An Interior Point Algorithm for Solving Convex Quadratic Semidefinite Optimization Problems Using a New Kernel Function
In this paper, we consider convex quadratic semidefinite optimization problems and provide a primal-dual Interior Point Method (IPM) based on a new kernel function with a trigonometric barrier term. Iteration complexity of the algorithm is analyzed using some easy to check and mild conditions. Although our proposed kernel function is neither a Self-Regular (SR) fun...
متن کاملPrimal-dual path-following algorithms for circular programming
Circular programming problems are a new class of convex optimization problems that include second-order cone programming problems as a special case. Alizadeh and Goldfarb [Math. Program. Ser. A 95 (2003) 3-51] introduced primal-dual path-following algorithms for solving second-order cone programming problems. In this paper, we generalize their work by using the machinery of Euclidean Jordan alg...
متن کاملGeneralization of Primal-Dual Interior-Point Methods to Convex Optimization Problems in Conic Form
We generalize primal-dual interior-point methods for linear programming problems to the convex optimization problems in conic form. Previously, the most comprehensive theory of symmetric primal-dual interior-point algorithms was given by Nesterov and Todd 8, 9] for the feasible regions expressed as the intersection of a symmetric cone with an aane subspace. In our setting, we allow an arbitrary...
متن کاملA Distributed Primal-Dual Interior-Point Method for Loosely Coupled Problems Using ADMM
In this paper we propose an efficient distributed algorithm for solving loosely coupled convex optimization problems. The algorithm is based on a primal-dual interior-point method in which we use the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) to compute the primal-dual directions at each iteration of the method. This enables us to join the exceptional convergence properties of primal-du...
متن کاملCrash start of interior point methods
The starting point used by an interior point algorithm for linear and convex quadratic programming may significantly influence the behaviour of the method. A widely used heuristic to construct such a point consists of dropping variable nonnegativity constraints and computing a solution which minimizes the Euclidean norm of the primal (or dual) point while satisfying the appropriate primal (or d...
