This paper analyzes sequences generated by infeasible interior point methods. In convex and nonconvex settings, we prove that moving the primal feasibility at the same rate as complementarity will ensure that the Lagrange multiplier sequence will remain bounded, provided the limit point of the primal sequence has a Lagrange multiplier, without constraint qualification assumptions. We also show ...

We present an algorithm for the constrained saddle point problem with a convexconcave function L and convex sets with nonempty interior. The method consists of moving away from the current iterate by choosing certain perturbed vectors. The values of gradients of L at these vectors provide an appropriate direction. Bregman functions allow us to define a curve which starts at the current iterate ...

We propose a primal-dual infeasible-interior-point path-following algorithm for solving semideenite programming (SDP) problems. If the problem has a solution, then the algorithm is globally convergent. If the starting point is feasible or close to being feasible , the algorithms nds an optimal solution in at most O(p nL) iterations. If the starting point is large enough then the algorithm termi...

This note derives bounds on the length of the primal-dual affine scaling directions associated with a linearly constrained convex program satisfying the following conditions: 1) the problem has a solution satisfying strict complementarity, 2) the Hessian of the objective function satisfies a certain invariance property. We illustrate the usefulness of these bounds by establishing the superlinea...

This paper introduces the algorithmic design and implementation of Tulip, an open-source interior-point solver for linear optimization. It implements a regularized homogeneous algorithm with multiple centrality corrections, therefore handles unbounded infeasible problems. The is written in Julia, thus allowing flexible efficient implementation: Tulip's framework fully disentangled from algebra ...

We present a constraint analysis methodology for Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) constraints. If the constraint set is found to be feasible we search for a minimal representation; otherwise, we search for an irreducible infeasible system. The work is based on the solution of a set covering problem where each row corresponds to a sample point and is determined by constraint satisfaction at the sa...

The knowledge of the interior structure of buildings is important in many civilian and military applications. While it is possible to obtain interior maps by exhaustively inspecting every room in a building, in many situations this is infeasible due to security or safety reasons. In this paper, we develop a method to generate interior building floor plans from the exterior of the structure. We ...

The Mizuno-Todd-Ye predictor-corrector algorithm for linear programming is extended for solving monotone linear complementarity problems from infeasible starting points. The proposed algorithm requires two matrix factorizations and at most three backsolves per iteration. Its computational complexity depends on the quality of the starting point. If the starting points are large enough, then the ...

An algorithm for solving linear programming problems can be used as a subroutine in methods for more complicated problems. Such methods usually involve solving a sequence of related linear programming problems, where the solution to one linear program is close to the solution to the next, that is, it provides a warm start for the next linear program. The branch and cut method for solving intege...

in this paper, we describe our implementation of an interior point algorithm for large scale systems. first we identify system with small and medium methods convex optimization, then we use interior point method for identification. finally we offer an interior point method that uses nonlinear cost function and see that we achieve a good trade-off between error and cpu time. actually, in this pa...
