Abstract

As an extension of convex quadratic optimization (CQO) problems, the weighted convex quadratic optimization (WCQO) plays an important role in the domain of mathematical programming and engineering. In this paper, we propose a short-step primal-dual interior-point algorithm for solving WCQO based on the strategy of weighted-path. The latter generates only full-Newton steps and requires no line search. Under appropriate conditions, the algorithm converges locally quadratically to an optimal solution of WCQO. Moreover, it has the best well-known polynomial complexity, namely, O(√n log(n/ϵ)). Finally, some numerical results are reported to confirm the efficiency  of our proposed algorithm.

A single loop method for quadratic minmax optimization

This work considers a quadratic minmax problem with coupled inner constraints and proposes a method to compute a class of stationary points and shows in particular that the method is polynomial in the special case where the inner feasible set of the authors' constrained minmax problem is independent from outer variable...

An Adaptive Augmented Lagrangian Method for Deterministic and Stochastic Nonconvex Optimization

The method matches the best known worst-case complexity results for Augmented Lagrangian methods (up to logarithmic factors) when both the function and constraints are deterministic, when the function is stochastic and the constraints are deterministic, and when both are stochastic.
