The Q Method for Second-order Cone Programming

Based on the Q method for SDP, we develop the Q method for SOCP. A modified Q method is also introduced. Properties of the algorithms are discussed. Convergence proofs are given. Finally, we present numerical results. Citation AdvOl-Report#2004/15 McMaster University, Advanced Optimization Laboratory Article Download View The Q Method for Second-order Cone Programming

The Q Method for Symmetric Cone Programming

We extend the Q method to the symmetric cone programming. An infeasible interior point algorithm and a Newton-type algorithm are given. We give convergence results of the interior point algorithm and prove that the Newton-type algorithm is good for Citation AdvOl-Report#2004/18 McMaster University, Advanced Optimization Laboratory Hamilton, Ontario, Canada October 2004 Article Download View The … Read more

An Algorithm for Perturbed Second-order Cone Programs

The second-order cone programming problem is reformulated into several new systems of nonlinear equations. Assume the perturbation of the data is in a certain neighborhood of zero. Then starting from a solution to the old problem, the semismooth Newton’s iterates converge Q-quadratically to a solution of the perturbed problem. The algorithm is globalized. Numerical examples … Read more
