Kernel functions play an important role in interior point methods (IPMs) for solving linear optimization (LO) problems to define a new search direction. In this paper, we consider primal-dual algorithms for solving Semidefinite Optimization (SDO) problems based on a new class of kernel functions defined on the positive definite cone [Formula: see text]. Using some appealing and mild conditions of the new class, we prove with simple analysis that the new class-based large-update primal-dual IPMs enjoy an [Formula: see text] iteration bound to solve SDO problems with special choice of the parameters of the new class.

We introduce a new parametric kernel function, which is a combination of the classic kernel function and a trigonometric barrier term, and present various properties of this new kernel function. A class of large- and small-update primal-dual interior-point methods for linear optimization based on this parametric kernel function is proposed. By utilizing the feature of the parametric kernel function, we derive the iteration bounds for large-update methods,O(n2/3log⁡(n/ε)), and small-update methods,O(nlog⁡(n/ε)). These results match the currently best known iteration bounds for large- and small-update methods based on the trigonometric kernel functions.

AbstractIn this paper, we propose a large-update primal-dual interior point algorithm for linear optimization. The method is based on a new class of kernel functions which differs from the existing kernel functions in which it has a double barrier term. The investigation according to it yields the best known iteration bound O\sqrt n \log (n)\log \left( {{n \over \in }} \right) for large-update algorithm with the special choice of its parameter m and thus improves the iteration bound obtained in Bai et al. [2] for large-update algorithm.
