Neighborhood-following algorithms for linear programming

In this paper, we present neighborhood-following algorithms for linear programming. When the neighborhood is a wide neighborhood, our algorithms are wide neighborhood primal-dual interior point algorithms. If the neighborhood degenerates into the central path, our algorithms also degenerate into path-following algorithms. We prove that our algorithms maintain the O(n~(1/2)L)-iteration complexity still, while the classical wide neighborhood primal-dual interior point algorithms have only the O(nL)-iteration complexity. We also proved that the algorithms are quadratic convergence if the optimal vertex is nondegenerate. Finally, we show some computational results of our algorithms.

New parameterized kernel functions for linear optimization

Recent studies on the kernel function-based primal-dual interior-point algorithms indicate that a kernel function not only represents a measure of the distance between the iteration and the central path, but also plays a critical role in improving the computational complexity of an interior-point algorithm. In this paper, we propose a new class of parameterized kernel functions for the development of primal-dual interior-point algorithms for solving linear programming problems. The properties of the proposed kernel functions and corresponding parameters are investigated. The results lead to a complexity bounds of ${O\left(\sqrt{n}\,{\rm log}\,n\,{\rm log}\,\frac{n}{\epsilon}\right)}$ for the large-update primal-dual interior point methods. To the best of our knowledge, this is the best known bound achieved.     

Numerical Experiments with an Interior-Exterior Point Method for Nonlinear Programming

The paper presents an algorithm for solving nonlinear programming problems. The algorithm is based on the combination of interior and exterior point methods. The latter is also known as the primal-dual nonlinear rescaling method. The paper shows that in certain cases when the interior point method (IPM) fails to achieve the solution with the high level of accuracy, the use of the exterior point method (EPM) can remedy this situation. The result is demonstrated by solving problems from COPS and CUTE problem sets using nonlinear programming solver LOQO that is modified to include the exterior point method subroutine.     

A new long-step interior point algorithm for linear programming based on the algebraic equivalent transformation

In this paper, we investigate a new primal-dual long-step interior point algorithm for linear optimization. Based on the step size, interior point algorithms can be divided into two main groups, short-step, and long-step methods. In practice, long-step variants perform better, but usually, a better theoretical complexity can be achieved for the short-step methods. One of the exceptions is the large-update algorithm of Ai and Zhang. The new wide neighborhood and the main characteristics of the presented algorithm are based on their approach. In addition, we use the algebraic equivalent transformation technique of Darvay to determine new modified search directions for our method. We show that the new long-step algorithm is convergent and has the best known iteration complexity of short-step variants. We present our numerical results and compare the performance of our algorithm with two previously introduced Ai-Zhang type interior point algorithms on a set of linear programming test problems from the Netlib library.

     

A primal-dual interior point method whose running time depends only on the constraint matrix

We propose a primal-dual “layered-step” interior point (LIP) algorithm for linear programming with data given by real numbers. This algorithm follows the central path, either with short steps or with a new type of step called a “layered least squares” (LLS) step. The algorithm returns an exact optimum after a finite number of steps—in particular, after O(n ^3.5 c(A)) iterations, wherec(A) is a function of the coefficient matrix. The LLS steps can be thought of as accelerating a classical path-following interior point method. One consequence of the new method is a new characterization of the central path: we show that it composed of at mostn ² alternating straight and curved segments. If the LIP algorithm is applied to integer data, we get as another corollary a new proof of a well-known theorem by Tardos that linear programming can be solved in strongly polynomial time provided thatA contains small-integer entries.     

A matrix generation approach for eigenvalue optimization

We study the extension of a column generation technique to nonpolyhedral models. In particular, we study the problem of minimizing the maximum eigenvalue of an affine combination of symmetric matrices. At each step of the algorithm a restricted master problem in the primal space, corresponding to the relaxed dual (original) problem, is formed. A query point is obtained as an approximate analytic center of a bounded set that contains the optimal solution of the dual problem. The original objective function is evaluated at the query point, and depending on its differentiability a column or a matrix is added to the restricted master problem. We discuss the issues of recovering feasibility after the restricted master problem is updated by a column or a matrix. The computational experience of implementing the algorithm on randomly generated problems are reported and the cpu time of the matrix generation algorithm is compared with that of the primal-dual interior point methods on dense and sparse problems using the software SDPT3. Our numerical results illustrate that the matrix generation algorithm outperforms primal-dual interior point methods on dense problems with no structure and also on a class of sparse problems.
