A study of search directions in primal-dual interior-point methods for semidefinite programming
We discuss several different search directions which can be used in primal-dual interior-point methods for semidefinite programming problems and investigate their theoretical properties, including scale invariance, primal-dual symmetry, and whether they always generate well-defined directions. Among the directions satisfying all but at most two of these desirable properties are the Alizadeh-Haeberly-Overton, Helmberg-Rendl-Vanderbei-Wolkowicz/Kojima-Shindoh-HaralMonteiro, Nesterov-Todd, Gu, and Toh directions, as well as directions we will call the MTW and Half directions. The first five of these appear to be the best in our limited computational testing also.
期刊介绍:
Optimization Methods and Software
publishes refereed papers on the latest developments in the theory and realization of optimization methods, with particular emphasis on the interface between software development and algorithm design.
Topics include:
Theory, implementation and performance evaluation of algorithms and computer codes for linear, nonlinear, discrete, stochastic optimization and optimal control. This includes in particular conic, semi-definite, mixed integer, network, non-smooth, multi-objective and global optimization by deterministic or nondeterministic algorithms.
Algorithms and software for complementarity, variational inequalities and equilibrium problems, and also for solving inverse problems, systems of nonlinear equations and the numerical study of parameter dependent operators.
Various aspects of efficient and user-friendly implementations: e.g. automatic differentiation, massively parallel optimization, distributed computing, on-line algorithms, error sensitivity and validity analysis, problem scaling, stopping criteria and symbolic numeric interfaces.
Theoretical studies with clear potential for applications and successful applications of specially adapted optimization methods and software to fields like engineering, machine learning, data mining, economics, finance, biology, or medicine. These submissions should not consist solely of the straightforward use of standard optimization techniques.
