    We discuss easily verifiable cone membership certificates, that is, certificates proving relations of the form \( b\in K \) for convex cones \(K\) that consist of vectors in the dual cone \(K^*\). Vectors in the dual cone are usually associated with separating hyperplanes, and so they are interpreted as certificates of non-membership in the standard … Read more

    We design and analyze primal-dual, feasible interior-point algorithms (IPAs) employing full Newton steps to solve convex optimization problems in standard conic form. Unlike most nonsymmetric cone programming methods, the algorithms presented in this paper require only a logarithmically homogeneous self-concordant barrier (LHSCB) of the primal cone, but compute feasible and \(\varepsilon\)-optimal solutions to both the … Read more
