Numerical experiments with an interior-exterior point method for nonlinear programming

The paper presents an algorithm for solving nonlinear programming problems. The algorithm is based on the combination of interior and exterior point methods. The latter is also known as the primal-dual nonlinear rescaling method. The paper shows that in certain cases when the interior point method fails to achieve the solution with the high level … Read more

Convergence analysis of a primal-dual interior-point method for nonlinear programming

We analyze a primal-dual interior-point method for nonlinear programming. We prove the global convergence for a wide class of problems under the standard assumptions on the problem.

A primal-dual nonlinear rescaling method with dynamic scaling parameter update

In this paper we developed a general primal-dual nonlinear rescaling method with dynamic scaling parameter update (PDNRD) for convex optimization. We proved the global convergence, established 1.5-Q-superlinear rate of convergence under the standard second order optimality conditions. The PDNRD was numerically implemented and tested on a number of nonlinear problems from COPS and CUTE sets. … Read more
