Scaling, shifting and weighting in interior-point methods

Interior-point Methods

Interior-Point Methods

The modern era of interior-point methods dates to 1984, when Karmarkar proposed his algorithm for linear programming. In the years since then, algorithms and software for linear programming have become quite sophisticated, while extensions to more general classes of problems, such as convex quadratic programming, semide nite programming, and nonconvex and nonlinear problems, have reached varyin...

Interior Point Methods

In this section we will give an (extremely) brief Introduction to the concept of interior point methods • Logarithmic Barrier Method • Method of Centers We have previously seen methods that follow a path On the boundary of the feasible region (Simplex). As the name suggest, interior point methods instead Follow a path through the interior of the feasible region.

Interior-point methods for optimization

This article describes the current state of the art of interior-point methods (IPMs) for convex, conic, and general nonlinear optimization. We discuss the theory, outline the algorithms, and comment on the applicability of this class of methods, which have revolutionized the field over the last twenty years.

3. page 13, lines 12–13: Insert a phrase to stress that we consider only monotone LCP in this book, though the qualifier ”monotone” is often omitted. Replace the sentence preceding the formula (1.21) by The monotone LCP—the qualifier ”monotone” is implicit throughout this book—is the problem of finding vectors x and s in I R that satisfy the following conditions: 4. page 13, line −12: delete “o...
