A Constraint-reduced Algorithm for Semidefinite Optimization Problems using HKM and AHO directions

We develop a new constraint-reduced infeasible predictor-corrector interior point method for semidefinite programming, and we prove that it has polynomial global convergence and superlinear local convergence. While the new algorithm uses HKM direction in predictor step, it adopts AHO direction in corrector step to obtain faster approach to the central path. In contrast to the … Read more

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 … Read more

A Polynomial Time Constraint-Reduced Algorithm for Semidefinite Optimization Problems, with Convergence Proofs

We present an infeasible primal-dual interior point method for semidefinite optimization problems, making use of constraint reduction. We show that the algorithm is globally convergent and has polynomial complexity, the first such complexity result for primal-dual constraint reduction algorithms for any class of problems. Our algorithm is a modification of one with no constraint reduction … Read more
