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. Res. 214(3) (2011) 473–484; Simplified analysis of a full Nesterov–Todd step infeasible interior-point method for symmetric optimization, Asian-Eur. J. Math. 8(4) (2015) 1550071, 14 pp.] is considered. 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.

We present a full Nesterov-Todd (NT) step infeasible interior-point algorithm for second-order cone optimization based on a different way to calculate feasibility direction. In each iteration of the algorithm we use the largest possible barrier parameter value ?. Moreover, each main iteration of the algorithm consists of a feasibility step and a few centering steps. The feasibility step differs from the feasibility step of the other existing methods. We derive the complexity bound which coincides with the best known bound for infeasible interior point methods.
