In this algorithm, there is only one corrector step after each predictor step, where Step 2 is a predictor step and Step 4 is a corrector step in the algorithm. In the algorithm, the predictor step decreases the dual gap as much as possible in a wider neighborhood of the central path and the corrector step draws iteration points back to a narrower neighborhood and make a reduction for the dual gap. It is shown that the algorithm has O（√nL） iteration complexity which is the best result for convex quadratic programming so far.展开更多

The composite Newton method attempts to balance the trade-off between expense and fast convergence by composing one Newton step with one simplified Newton step. Recently, Mehrotra suggested a predictor-corrector variant of primal-dual interior point method for linear programming. It is currently the interiorpoint method of the choice for linear programming. In this work we propose a predictor-corrector interior-point algorithm for convex quadratic programming. It is proved that the algorithm is equivalent to a level-1 perturbed composite Newton method. Computations in the algorithm do not require that the initial primal and dual points be feasible. Numerical experiments are made.展开更多

The favorable polynomial complexity bound of the algorithm is obtained, namely O（nlog（（ x^0）~TS^0/ε）） which is as good as the linear programming analogue. Finally, the numerical experiments show that the proposed algorithm is efficient.展开更多

The purpose of this paper is to extend these results in two directions. First, we modify the algorithm in order to solve convex quadratic programming with upper bounds. Second, we replace the corrector step with an iteration of Monteiro and Adler's algorithm([2]). With these modifications, the duality gap is reduced by a constant factor after each corrector step for convex quadratic programming. It is shown that the new algorithm has a O(root nL)-iteration complexity.展开更多
