Broadly, our approach is an interior-point method. However, it can also be viewed as Newton's method on a Riemannian manifold on a set of interior points. In contrast to existing works on Newton's method on Riemannian manifolds, we introduce a parameterized metric and a retraction on the manifold, which are required to find a descent direction on the tangent space and update the solution on the manifold, respectively. The parameter of the metric is chosen at each iteration to preserve the local geodesic convexity of the objective function, while the retraction is designed to guarantee local convergence of the algorithm. The convergence rate is proven to be quadratic. Furthermore, we propose a modified algorithm emphasizing effective performance, which is numerically illustrated to be computationally as efficient as the primal-dual interior-point method, which has been widely used in practice. Our approach is also capable of warm start, which are preferable for model predictive control.","PeriodicalId":51107,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Operations Research Society of Japan","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135928353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The competitive ratio is defined as the worst ratio between the expected optimal value and the expected profit of the solution obtained by the online algorithm, where the input distribution is restricted according to the input model. Our purpose is to clarify the difference among the input models from the view of the competitive ratio. To handle a broad class of online problems, we use a framework called request-answer games, which were introduced by Ben-David et al. The stochastic input models fit into two categories: known distribution and unknown distribution. We consider six natural classes of distribution for each category: dependent distributions, deterministic input, independent distributions, identical independent distribution, random order of a deterministic input, and random order of independent distributions. Using each input model, we consider two fundamental online problems, which are variants of the secretary problem and the prophet inequality problem. We use these problems to observe the difference in the competitive ratios of each input model.","PeriodicalId":51107,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Operations Research Society of Japan","volume":"220 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135668603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
