Introduction to Semidefinite Programming

A Recurrent Neural Network Model for Solving Linear Semidefinite Programming

In this paper we solve a wide rang of Semidefinite Programming (SDP) Problem by using Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). SDP is an important numerical tool for analysis and synthesis in systems and control theory. First we reformulate the problem to a linear programming problem, second we reformulate it to a first order system of ordinary differential equations. Then a recurrent neural network...

A path following interior-point algorithm for semidefinite optimization problem based on new kernel function

In this paper, we deal to obtain some new complexity results for solving semidefinite optimization (SDO) problem by interior-point methods (IPMs). We define a new proximity function for the SDO by a new kernel function. Furthermore we formulate an algorithm for a primal dual interior-point method (IPM) for the SDO by using the proximity function and give its complexity analysis, and then we sho...

Introduction to Semidefinite Programming (SDP)

Semidefinite programming — an introduction

Interior point methods can be extended to a number of cones (self-dual homogeneous cones) • Rn (linear programming) • vectorized symmetric matrices over real numbers (semidefinite programming) • vectorized Hermitian matrices over complex numbers • vectorized Hermitian matrices over quaternions • vectorized Hermitian 3×3 matrices over octonions Grötschel, Lovász and Schrijver [3]: semidefinite p...

A path-following infeasible interior-point algorithm for semidefinite programming

We present a new algorithm obtained by changing the search directions in the algorithm given in [8]. This 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 the full Nesterov-Todd (NT)step. Moreover, we obtain the currently best known iteration bound for the infeasible interior-point algorithms with full NT...
