How good are interior point methods? Klee-Minty cubes tighten iteration-complexity bounds

چکیده
By refining a variant of the Klee–Minty example that forces the central path to visit all the vertices of the Klee–Minty n-cube, we exhibit a nearly worst-case example for path-following interior point methods. Namely, while the theoretical iteration-complexity upper bound is O(2nn 5 2 ), we prove that solving this n-dimensional linear optimization problem requires at least 2n − 1 iterations.

A tight iteration-complexity upper bound for the MTY predictor-corrector algorithm via redundant Klee-Minty cubes
It is an open question whether there is an interior-point algorithm for linear optimization problems with a lower iteration-complexity than the classical bound O( √ n log(1 μ0 )). This paper provides a negative answer to that question for a variant of the Mizuno-Todd-Ye predictor-corrector algorithm. In fact, we prove that for any > 0, there is a redundant Klee-Minty cube for which the aforemen...
متن کاملCentral Path Curvature and Iteration-Complexity for Redundant Klee—Minty Cubes
We consider a family of linear optimization problems over the n-dimensional Klee—Minty cube and show that the central path may visit all of its vertices in the same order as simplex methods do. This is achieved by carefully adding an exponential number of redundant constraints that forces the central path to take at least 2 − 2 sharp turns. This fact suggests that any feasible path-following in...

We investigate the behavior of randomized simplex algorithms on special linear programs. For this, we develop combinatorial models for the Klee-Minty cubes [17] and similar linear programs with exponential decreasing paths. The analysis of two most natural randomized pivot rules on the Klee-Minty cubes leads t o (nearly) quadratic lower bounds for the complexity of linear programming with rando...
متن کاملA simpler and tighter redundant Klee-Minty construction
By introducing redundant Klee-Minty examples, we have previously shown that the central path can be bent along the edges of the Klee-Minty cubes, thus having 2n − 2 sharp turns in dimension n. In those constructions the redundant hyperplanes were placed parallel with the facets active at the optimal solution. In this paper we present a simpler and more powerful construction, where the redundant...

The analysis of two randomized pivot rules on the Klee-Minty cubes leads to (nearly) quadratic lower bounds for the complexity of linear programming with random pivots. Thus ...
