An efficient multi parametric kernel function for large and small-update methods interior point algorithm for P*(κ)-horizontal linear complementarity problem

Abstract

In this paper, we propose the first efficient multi parametric kernel function with logarithmic barrier term. A class of polynomial interior-point algorithms for P*(κ)-horizontal linear complementarity problem based on this kernel function, with parameters pi > 0 for all i ∈ 1, 2, , m, are presented. Then by using some simple analysis tools, we present a primal-dual interior point method (IPM) for P*(κ)-horizontal linear complementarity problems based on this kernel function. At the same time, we derive the complexity bounds small and large-update methods, respectively. In particular, if we take many different values of the parameters, we obtain the best known iteration bounds for the algorithms with large- and small-update methods are derived, namely, O((1 + 2κ)√n(log n)log n/ϵ) and O((1 + 2κ)√n log n/ϵ) respectively. We illustrate the performance of the proposed kernel function by some numerical results that are derived by applying our algorithm.
