An Active-Set Quadratic Programming Method Based On Sequential Hot-Starts

A new method for solving sequences of quadratic programs (QPs) is presented. For each new QP in the sequence, the method utilizes hot-starts that employ information computed by an active-set QP solver during the solution of the first QP. This avoids the computation and factorization of the full matrices for all but the first problem … Read more

An Iterative Solver-Based Long-Step Infeasible Primal-Dual Path-Following Algorithm for Convex QP Based on a Class of Preconditioners

In this paper we present a long-step infeasible primal-dual path-following algorithm for convex quadratic programming (CQP) whose search directions are computed by means of a preconditioned iterative linear solver. In contrast to the authors’ previous paper \cite{ONE04}, we propose a new linear system, which we refer to as the \emph{hybrid augmented normal equation} (HANE), to … Read more
