Warm Start of the Primal - Dual Method
نویسنده
چکیده
A practical warm-start procedure is described for the infeasible primal-dual interior-point method employed to solve the restricted master problem within the cutting-plane method. In contrast to the theoretical developments in this eld, the approach presented in this paper does not make the unrealistic assumption that the new cuts are shallow. Moreover, it treats systematically the case when a large number of cuts are added at one time. The technique proposed in this paper has been implemented in the context of HOPDM, the state of the art, yet public domain, interior-point code. Numerical results con rm a high degree of e ciency of this approach: regardless of the number of cuts added at one time (can be thousands in the largest examples) and regardless of the depth of the new cuts, reoptimizations are usually done with a few additional iterations.

متن کاملABS Solution of equations of second kind and application to the primal-dual interior point method for linear programming
Abstract We consider an application of the ABS procedure to the linear systems arising from the primal-dual interior point methods where Newton method is used to compute path to the solution. When approaching the solution the linear system, which has the form of normal equations of the second kind, becomes more and more ill conditioned. We show how the use of the Huang algorithm in the ABS cl...
