Abstract  We consider an application of the ABS procedure to the linear systems arising from the primal-dual interior point methods where Newton method is used to compute path to the solution. When approaching the solution the linear system, which has the form of normal equations of the second kind, becomes more and more ill conditioned. We show how the use of the Huang algorithm in the ABS cl...

In this paper we present several \infeasible-start" path-following and potential-reduction primal-dual interior-point methods for nonlinear conic problems. These methods try to nd a recession direction of the feasible set of a self-dual homogeneous primal-dual problem. The methods under consideration generate an-solution for an-perturbation of an initial strictly (primal and dual) feasible prob...

In a recent work [3] the authors improved one of the most efficient interior-point approaches for some classes of block-angular problems. This was achieved by adding a quadratic regularization to the logarithmic barrier. This regularized barrier was shown to be self-concordant, thus fitting the general structural optimization interior-point framework. In practice, however, most codes implement ...

Interior-point methods (IPMs) for semidefinite optimization (SDO) have been studied intensively, due to their polynomial complexity and practical efficiency. Recently, J.Peng et al. [14, 15] introduced so-called self-regular kernel (and barrier) functions and designed primal-dual interior-point algorithms based on self-regular proximity for linear optimization (LO) problems. They have also exte...

We show that the e ects of nite-precision arithmetic in forming and solving the linear system that arises at each iteration of primal-dual interior-point algorithms for nonlinear programming are benign. When we replace the standard assumption that the active constraint gradients are independent by the weaker Mangasarian-Fromovitz constraint quali cation, rapid convergence usually is attainable,...

We introduce a framework in which updating rules for the barrier parameter in primal-dual interior-point methods become dynamic. The original primal-dual system is augmented to incorporate explicitly an updating function. A Newton step for the augmented system gives a primal-dual Newton step and also a step in the barrier parameter. Based on local information and a line search, the decrease of ...

An approach to determine primal and dual stepsizes in the infeasible{ interior{point primal{dual method for convex quadratic problems is presented. The approach reduces the primal and dual infeasibilities in each step and allows diierent stepsizes. The method is derived by investigating the eecient set of a multiobjective optimization problem. Computational results are also given.

The inexact primal-dual interior point method which is discussed in this paper chooses a new iterate along an approximation to the Newton direction. The method is the Kojima, Megiddo, and Mizuno globally convergent infeasible interior point algorithm The inexact variation is shown to have the same convergence properties accepting a residual in both the primal and dual Newton step equation also ...
