Loqo: an Interior Point Code for Quadratic Programming
نویسنده
چکیده
ABSTRACT. This paper describes a software package, called LOQO, which implements a primaldual interior-point method for general nonlinear programming. We focus in this paper mainly on the algorithm as it applies to linear and quadratic programming with only brief mention of the extensions to convex and general nonlinear programming, since a detailed paper describing these extensions were published recently elsewhere. In particular, we emphasize the importance of establishing and maintaining symmetric quasidefiniteness of the reduced KKT system. We show that the industry standard MPS format can be nicely formulated in such a way to provide quasidefiniteness. Computational results are included for a variety of linear and quadratic programming problems.

Interior-point Methods for Nonconvex Nonlinear Programming: Jamming and Comparative Numerical Testing
The paper considers a current example of Wächter and Biegler which is shown not to converge for the standard primal-dual interior-point method for nonlinear programming. Three possible solutions to the problem are derived and discussed, including shifting slack variables, a trust region method, and a modified barrier method. The paper then compares LOQO, a line-search interior-point code, with ...
متن کاملGlobal convergence of an inexact interior-point method for convex quadratic symmetric cone programming
In this paper, we propose a feasible interior-point method for convex quadratic programming over symmetric cones. The proposed algorithm relaxes the accuracy requirements in the solution of the Newton equation system, by using an inexact Newton direction. Furthermore, we obtain an acceptable level of error in the inexact algorithm on convex quadratic symmetric cone programmin...
متن کاملInterior-point methods for nonconvex nonlinear programming: orderings and higher-order methods
The paper extends prior work by the authors on LOQO, an interior point algorithm for nonconvex nonlinear programming. The specific topics covered include primal versus dual orderings and higher order methods, which attempt to use each factorization of the Hessian matrix more than once to improve computational efficiency. Results show that unlike linear and convex quadratic programming, higher o...
متن کاملA path following interior-point algorithm for semidefinite optimization problem based on new kernel function
In this paper, we deal to obtain some new complexity results for solving semidefinite optimization (SDO) problem by interior-point methods (IPMs). We define a new proximity function for the SDO by a new kernel function. Furthermore we formulate an algorithm for a primal dual interior-point method (IPM) for the SDO by using the proximity function and give its complexity analysis, and then we sho...
متن کاملA Method for Solving Convex Quadratic Programming Problems Based on Differential-algebraic equations
In this paper, a new model based on differential-algebraic equations(DAEs) for solving convex quadratic programming(CQP) problems is proposed. It is proved that the new approach is guaranteed to generate optimal solutions for this class of optimization problems. This paper also shows that the conventional interior point methods for solving (CQP) problems can be viewed as a special case of the n...
