An Interior-Point Method for Semidefinite Programming

A 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...

A path-following infeasible interior-point algorithm for semidefinite programming

We present a new algorithm obtained by changing the search directions in the algorithm given in [8]. This algorithm is based on a new technique for finding the search direction and the strategy of the central path. At each iteration, we use only the full Nesterov-Todd (NT)step. Moreover, we obtain the currently best known iteration bound for the infeasible interior-point algorithms with full NT...

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...

An interior point method with a primal-dual quadratic barrier penalty function for nonlinear semidefinite programming

In this paper, we consider an interior point method for nonlinear semidefinite programming. Yamashita, Yabe and Harada presented a primal-dual interior point method in which a nondifferentiable merit function was used. By using shifted barrier KKT conditions, we propose a differentiable primal-dual merit function within the framework of the line search strategy, and prove the global convergence...

New complexity analysis of a full Nesterov-Todd steps IIPM for semidefinite optimization

An Infeasible Interior-Point Algorithm with Full Nesterov-Todd Step for Semidefinite Programming

This paper proposes an infeasible interior-point algorithm with full Nesterov-Todd step for semidefinite programming, which is an extension of the work of Roos (SIAM J. Optim., 16(4):1110– 1136, 2006). The polynomial bound coincides with that of infeasible interior-point methods for linear programming, namely, O(n log n/ε).
