Infeasible Interior Point Method

In this paper an improved and modified version of full Nesterov–Todd step infeasible interior-point methods for symmetric optimization published in [A new infeasible interior-point method based on Darvay’s technique for symmetric optimization, Ann. Oper. Res. 211(1) (2013) 209–224; G. Gu, M. Zangiabadi and C. Roos, Full Nesterov–Todd step infeasible interior-point method for symmetric optimization, European J. Oper.

Each main iteration of our algorithm consisted of only a feasibility step, whereas in the earlier versions each iteration is composed of one feasibility step and several — at most three — centering steps. The algorithm finds an [Formula: see text]-solution of the underlying problem in polynomial-time and its iteration bound improves the earlier bounds factor from [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text]. Moreover, our method unifies the analysis for linear optimization, second-order cone optimization and semidefinite optimization.

Simplified Analysis

We give a simplified analysis and an improved iteration bound of a full Nesterov–Todd (NT) step infeasible interior-point method for solving symmetric optimization. This method shares the features as, it (i) requires strictly feasible iterates on the central path of a perturbed problem, (ii) uses the feasibility steps to find strictly feasible iterates for the next perturbed problem, (iii) uses the centering steps to obtain a strictly feasible iterate close enough to the central path of the new perturbed problem, and (iv) reduces the size of the residual vectors with the same speed as the duality gap. Furthermore, the complexity bound coincides with the currently best-known iteration bound for full NT step infeasible interior-point methods.

We develop a short-step interior point method to optimize a linear function over a convex body assuming that one only knows a membership oracle for this body. The approach is based a sketch of a universal interior point method using the so-called entropic barrier. It is well known that the gradient and Hessian of the entropic barrier can be approximated by sampling from Boltzmann-Gibbs distributions and the entropic barrier was shown to be self-concordant. The analysis of our algorithm uses properties of the entropic barrier, mixing times for hit-and-run random walks, approximation quality guarantees for the mean and covariance of a log-concave distribution, and results on inexact Newton-type methods.

Linear Optimization Problems

In this paper, an improved Interior-Point Method (IPM) for solving symmetric optimization problems is presented. Symmetric optimization (SO) problems are linear optimization problems over symmetric cones. In particular, the method can be efficiently applied to an important instance of SO, a Controlled Tabular Adjustment (CTA) problem which is a method used for Statistical Disclosure Limitation (SDL) of tabular data. The presented method is a full Nesterov-Todd step infeasible IPM for SO. The algorithm converges to ε-approximate solution from any starting point whether feasible or infeasible. Each iteration consists of the feasibility step and several centering steps, however, the iterates are obtained in the wider neighborhood of the central path in comparison to the similar algorithms of this type which is the main improvement of the method. However, the currently best known iteration bound known for infeasible short-step methods is still achieved.
