A Constraint-Reduced Algorithm for Semidefinite Optimization Problems with Superlinear Convergence

Constraint reduction is an essential method because the computational cost of the interior point methods can be effectively saved. Park and O'Leary proposed a constraint-reduced predictor-corrector algorithm for semidefinite programming with polynomial global convergence, but they did not show its superlinear convergence. We first develop a constraint-reduced algorithm for semidefinite programming having both polynomial global and superlinear local convergences. The new algorithm repeats a corrector step to have an iterate tangentially approach a central path, by which superlinear convergence can be achieved.
