Primal-dual relationship between Levenberg-Marquardt and central trajectories for linearly constrained convex optimization

We consider the minimization of a convex function on a compact polyhedron defined by linear equality constraints and nonnegative variables. We define the Levenberg-Marquardt (L-M) and central trajectories starting at the analytic center and using the same parameter, and show that they satisfy a primal-dual relationship, being close to each other for large values of … Read more
