AbstractIn this paper we generalize the Interior Point-Proximal Method of Multipliers (IP-PMM) presented in Pougkakiotis and Gondzio (Comput Optim Appl 78:307–351, 2021. 10.1007/s10589-020-00240-9) for the solution of linear positive Semi-Definite Programming (SDP) problems, allowing inexactness in the solution of the associated Newton systems. In particular, we combine an infeasible Interior Point Method (IPM) with the Proximal Method of Multipliers (PMM) and interpret the algorithm (IP-PMM) as a primal-dual regularized IPM, suitable for solving SDP problems. We apply some iterations of an IPM to each sub-problem of the PMM until a satisfactory solution is found. We then update the PMM parameters, form a new IPM neighbourhood, and repeat this process. Given this framework, we prove polynomial complexity of the algorithm, under mild assumptions, and without requiring exact computations for the Newton directions. We furthermore provide a necessary condition for lack of strong duality, which can be used as a basis for constructing detection mechanisms for identifying pathological cases within IP-PMM.

Abstract In this paper we combine an infeasible Interior Point Method (IPM) with the Proximal Method of Multipliers (PMM). The resulting algorithm (IP-PMM) is interpreted as a primal-dual regularized IPM, suitable for solving linearly constrained convex quadratic programming problems. We apply few iterations of the interior point method to each sub-problem of the proximal method of multipliers. Once a satisfactory solution of the PMM sub-problem is found, we update the PMM parameters, form a new IPM neighbourhood and repeat this process. Given this framework, we prove polynomial complexity of the algorithm, under standard assumptions. To our knowledge, this is the first polynomial complexity result for a primal-dual regularized IPM. The algorithm is guided by the use of a single penalty parameter; that of the logarithmic barrier. In other words, we show that IP-PMM inherits the polynomial complexity of IPMs, as well as the strict convexity of the PMM sub-problems. The updates of the penalty parameter are controlled by IPM, and hence are well-tuned, and do not depend on the problem solved. Furthermore, we study the behavior of the method when it is applied to an infeasible problem, and identify a necessary condition for infeasibility. The latter is used to construct an infeasibility detection mechanism. Subsequently, we provide a robust implementation of the presented algorithm and test it over a set of small to large scale linear and convex quadratic programming problems. The numerical results demonstrate the benefits of using regularization in IPMs as well as the reliability of the method.

Full Newton Step

This paper deals with an infeasible interior-point algorithm with full-Newton step for linear optimization based on a kernel function, which is an extension of the work of the first author and coworkers (J. Math. Model Algorithms (2013); DOI 10.1007/s10852-013-9227-7). The main iteration of the algorithm consists of a feasibility step and several centrality steps. The centrality step is based on Darvay's direction, while we used a kernel function in the algorithm to induce the feasibility step. For the kernel function, the polynomial complexity can be proved and the result coincides with the best result for infeasible interior-point methods.

Predictor Corrector

In this paper, we propose a Mizuno-Todd-Ye type predictor-corrector infeasible interior-point method for linear optimization based on a wide neighborhood of the central path. According to Ai-Zhang’s original idea, we use two directions of distinct and orthogonal corresponding to the negative and positive parts of the right side vector of the centering equation of the central path. In the predictor stage, the step size along the corresponded infeasible directions to the negative part is chosen. In the corrector stage by modifying the positive directions system a full-Newton step is removed. We show that, in addition to the predictor step, our method reduces the duality gap in the corrector step and this can be a prominent feature of our method. We prove that the iteration complexity of the new algorithm is 𝒪(n log ɛ−1), which coincides with the best known complexity result for infeasible interior-point methods, where ɛ > 0 is the required precision. Due to the positive direction new system, we improve the theoretical complexity bound for this kind of infeasible interior-point method [1] by a factor of n . Numerical results are also provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm.
