We propose a polynomial algorithm for a separable convex optimization problem with linear constraints. We do not make any additional assumptions about the structure of the objective function except for polynomial computability. That is, the objective function can be non-differentiable. The running time of our algorithm is polynomial in the the size of the input … Read more
This paper proposes a polynomial algorithm for linear programming which is strongly polynomial for linear optimization problems $\min\{c^Tx : Ax = b, x\ge {\bf 0}\}$ having optimal solutions where each non-zero component $x_j$ belongs to an interval of the form $[\alpha_j, \alpha_j\cdot 2^{p(n)}],$ where $\alpha_j$ is some positive value and $p(n)$ is a polynomial of … Read more
The paper proposes a polynomial algorithm for solving systems of linear inequalities. The algorithm uses a polynomial relaxation-type procedure which either finds a solution for Ax = b, 0
In this paper, ellipse is used to approximate the central path of the linear programming. An interior-point algorithm is devised to search the optimizers along the ellipse. The algorithm is proved to be polynomial with the complexity bound $O(n^{\frac{1}{2}}\log(1/\epsilon))$. Numerical test is conducted for problems in Netlib. For most tested Netlib problems, the result shows … Read more
Arc-search is developed for linear programming in \cite{yang09, yang10}. The algorithms search for optimizers along an ellipse that are approximations of the central path. In this paper, the arc-search method is applied to primal-dual path-following interior-point method for convex quadratic programming. A simple algorithm with iteration complexity $O(\sqrt{n}\log(1/\epsilon))$ is devised. Several improvements on the simple … Read more
