Prediction-Correction Interior-Point Method for Time-Varying Convex Optimization

Prediction-Correction Interior-Point Method for Time-Varying Convex Optimization

In this paper, we develop an interior-point method for solving a class of convex optimization problems with timevarying objective and constraint functions. Using log-barrier penalty functions, we propose a continuous-time dynamical system for tracking the (time-varying) optimal solution with an asymptotically vanishing error. This dynamical system is composed of two terms: (i) a correction term...

Interior-point method for non-linear non-convex optimization

An interior-point Lagrangian decomposition method for separable convex optimization

In this paper we propose a distributed algorithm for solving large-scale separable convex problems using Lagrangian dual decomposition and the interior-point framework. By adding self-concordant barrier terms to the ordinary Lagrangian we prove under mild assumptions that the corresponding family of augmented dual functions is self-concordant. This makes it possible to efficiently use the Newto...

An Efficient Interior-Point Method for Convex Multicriteria Optimization Problems

In multicriteria optimization, several objective functions, conflicting with each other, have to be minimized simultaneously. We propose a new efficient method for approximating the solution set of a multiobjective programming problem, where the objective functions involved are arbitary convex functions and the set of feasible points is convex. The method is based on generating warm-start point...

An Interior Point Algorithm for Solving Convex Quadratic Semidefinite Optimization Problems Using a New Kernel Function

In this paper, we consider convex quadratic semidefinite optimization problems and provide a primal-dual Interior Point Method (IPM) based on a new kernel function with a trigonometric barrier term. Iteration complexity of the algorithm is analyzed using some easy to check and mild conditions. Although our proposed kernel function is neither a Self-Regular (SR) fun...
