Correlative sparsity in primal-dual interior-point methods for LP, SDP and SOCP
Exploiting sparsity has been a key issue in solving large-scale optimization problems. The most time-consuming part of primal-dual interior-point methods for linear programs, second-order cone programs, and semidefinite programs is solving the Schur complement equation at each iteration, usually by the Cholesky factorization. The computational efficiency is greatly affected by the sparsity of the coefficient … Read more
