A quadratically convergent predictor—corrector method for solving linear programs from infeasible starting points

A predictor—corrector method for solving linear programs from infeasible starting points is analyzed. The method is quadratically convergent and can be combined with Ye's finite termination scheme under very general assumptions. If the starting points are large enough then the algorithm hasO(nL) iteration complexity. If the ratio between feasibility and optimality at the starting points is small enough then the algorithm has O( ) iteration complexity. For feasible starting points the algorithm reduces to the Mizuno—Todd—Ye predictor—corrector method.This work was supported by an interdisciplinary research grant from the Institute for Advanced Studies of the University of Iowa.     

Measurement of γp→K + Λ and γp→K + Σ 0 at photon energies up to 1.47 GeV

The reactions pK ⁺ and pK ^{+ 0} have been measured with the multiparticle detector system SAPHIR at ELSA in Bonn. Besides the differential cross sections the polarization and, for the first time, the ⁰ polarization have been determined in a photon induced reaction. All data are presented as functions of the photon energy (from threshold up to 1.47 GeV) and of the kaon production angle (0°–180°). The polarization of both and ⁰ is substantial at all energies and varies strongly with the production angle.This work is supported by the Bundesminister für Forschung und Technologie (BMFT), FK 06 BN 621 I
