Abstract: | An important research activity in primal-dual interior-point methods for general nonlinear programming is to determine effective path-following strategies and their implementations. The objective of this work is to present numerical comparisons of several path-following strategies for the local interior-point Newton method given by El-Bakry, Tapia, Tsuchiya, and Zhang. We conduct numerical experimentation of nine strategies using two central regions, three notions of proximity measures, and three merit functions to obtain an optimal solution. Six of these strategies are implemented for the first time. The numerical results show that the best path-following strategy is that given by Argáez and Tapia. |
