A fast block motion estimation algorithm is proposed using modified diamond search patterns. This algorithm utilizes the directions and magnitudes of motion vectors between interblocks and uses a smaller number of search points than conventional diamond search patterns. Simulation results show that the proposed method significantly improves computational speed over other fast motion estimation ...

The Helmberg-Rendl-Vanderbei-Wolkowicz/Kojima-Shindoh-Hara/Monteiro and the Nesterov-Todd search directions have been used in many primal-dual interior-point methods for semide nite programs. This paper proposes an e cient method for computing the two directions when a semide nite program to be solved is large scale and sparse.

We consider a family of primal/primal-dual/dual search directions for the monotone LCP over the space of n n symmetric block-diagonal matrices. We consider two infeasible predictor-corrector path-following methods using these search directions, with the predictor and corrector steps used either in series (similar to the Mizuno-Todd-Ye method) or in parallel (similar to Mizuno et al./McShane's m...

A local acceleration method for primal-dual potential-reduction algorithms is introduced. The method developed here uses modified Newton search directions to minimize the Tanabe-Todd-Ye (TTY) potential function, and can be regarded as a primal-dual variant of the Iri-Imai algorithm based on the multiplicative analogue of Karmarkar's potential function. When iterates are close to an optimal solu...

In this paper we present an extension to SDP of the well known infeasible Interior Point method for linear programming of Kojima, Megiddo and Mizuno (A primal-dual infeasibleinterior-point algorithm for Linear Programming, Math. Progr., 1993). The extension developed here allows the use of inexact search directions; i.e., the linear systems defining the search directions can be solved with an a...
