Interpretation of interior point methods as damped Newton methods

چکیده
We propose a unified framework for the update of the barrier parameter in interior-point methods for nonlinear programming. The original primal-dual system is augmented to incorporate explicitly an updating function. We analyze local convergence properties and recover known updating strategies as special cases. We report numerical experiments on nonlinear problems and compare our results to a state-of-the-art interior-point implementation.

On the Behavior of Damped Quasi-Newton Methods for Unconstrained Optimization
We consider a family of damped quasi-Newton methods for solving unconstrained optimization problems. This family resembles that of Broyden with line searches, except that the change in gradients is replaced by a certain hybrid vector before updating the current Hessian approximation. This damped technique modifies the Hessian approximations so that they are maintained sufficiently positive defi...
متن کاملA full Nesterov-Todd step interior-point method for circular cone optimization
In this paper, we present a full Newton step feasible interior-pointmethod for circular cone optimization by using Euclidean Jordanalgebra. The search direction is based on the Nesterov-Todd scalingscheme, and only full-Newton step is used at each iteration.Furthermore, we derive the iteration bound that coincides with thecurrently best known iteration bound for small-update methods.
متن کاملAn infeasible interior-point method for the $P*$-matrix linear complementarity problem based on a trigonometric kernel function with full-Newton step
An infeasible interior-point algorithm for solving the$P_*$-matrix linear complementarity problem based on a kernelfunction with trigonometric barrier term is analyzed. Each (main)iteration of the algorithm consists of a feasibility step andseveral centrality steps, whose feasibility step is induced by atrigonometric kernel function. The complexity result coincides withthe best result for infea...
متن کاملAn interior point potential reduction method for constrained equations
We study the problem of solving a constrained system of nonlinear equations by a combination of the classical damped Newton method for (unconstrained) smooth equations and the recent interior point potential reduction methods for linear programs, linear and nonlin-ear complementarity problems. In general, constrained equations provide a uniied formulation for many mathematical programming probl...
متن کاملA Globally Convergent Conjugate Gradient Method for Minimizing Self-Concordant Functions on Riemannian Manifolds
Self-concordant functions are a special class of convex functions in Euclidean space introduced by Nesterov. They are used in interior point methods, based on Newton iterations, where they play an important role in solving efficiently certain constrained optimization problems. The concept of self-concordant functions has been defined on Riemannian manifolds by Jiang et al. and a damped Newton m...
