A Note on Superlinear Convergence of a Primal-dual Interior Point Method for Nonlinear Semi-definite Programming

We replace one of the assumptions (nondegeneracy assumption) in [9] to show that the main results in [9] still hold. We also provide a simple example to show that the new assumption is satisfied, while the original assumption is not satisfied, with other assumptions being satisfied. This example shows that the new assumption does not … Read more

Superlinear Convergence of Infeasible Predictor-Corrector Path-Following Interior Point Algorithm for SDLCP using the HKM Direction

Interior point method (IPM) defines a search direction at each interior point of a region. These search directions form a direction field which in turn gives rise to a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The solutions of the system of ODEs can be viewed as underlying paths in the interior of the region. In … Read more
