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.

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.

The Given

In this paper, a primal-dual interior point algorithm for solving linear optimization problems based on a new kernel function with a trigonometric barrier term which is not only used for determining the search directions but also for measuring the distance between the given iterate and the ?-center for the algorithm is proposed. Using some simple analysis tools and prove that our algorithm based on the new proposed trigonometric kernel function meets O (?n log n log n/?) and O (?n log n/?) as the worst case complexity bounds for large and small-update methods. Finally, some numerical results of performing our algorithm are presented.
