It is well known that the duality theory for linearprogramming (LP) is powerful and elegant and lies behind algorithms such as simplex and interior-pointmethods. However, the standard Lagrangian for nonlinear programs requires constraint qualifications to avoid duality gaps. Semidefinite linearprogramming (SDP) is a generalization of LP where the nonnegativity constraints are replaced by a semidefiniteness constraint on the matrix variables. There are many applications, e.g., in systems and control theory and combinatorial optimization. However, the Lagrangian dual for SDP can have a duality gap. We discuss the relationships among various duals and give a unified treatment for strong duality in semidefinite programming. These duals guarantee strong duality, i.e., a zero duality gap and dual attainment. This paper is motivated by the recent paper by Ramana where one of these duals is introduced.

Each master iteration of a simplified Newton algorithm for solving a system of equations starts by computing the Jacobian matrix and then uses this matrix in the computation of p Newton steps: the first of these steps is exact, and the other are called ''simplified''. In this paper we apply this approach to a large step path following algorithm for monotone linear complementarity problems, The resulting method generates sequences of objective values (duality gaps) that converge to zero with Q-order p + 1 in the number of master iterations, and with a complexity of O(root nL) iterations.

A new predictor-corrector algorithm is proposed for solving P*(kappa)-matrix linear complementarity problems. If the problem is solvable, then the algorithm converges from an arbitrary positive starting point (x(0),s(0)). The computational complexity of the algorithm depends on the quality of the starting point. If the starting point is feasible or close to being feasible, it has O((1 + kappa) root n/rho(0)L)-iteration complexity, where rho(0) is the ratio of the smallest and average coordinate of X(0)s(0). With appropriate initialization, a modified version of the algorithm terminates in O((1 + kappa)(2)(n/rho(0))L) steps either by finding a solution or by determining that the problem has no solution in a predetermined, arbitrarily large, region, The algorithm is quadratically convergent for problems having a strictly complementary solution. We also propose an extension of a recent algorithm of Mizuno to P*(kappa)-matrix linear complementarity problems such that it can start from arbitrary positive points and has superlinear convergence without a strictly complementary condition.

In this paper, we focus our attention on an infeasible interiorpoint method and the effects of implementation techniques on computational speed are examined in detail. Infeasible methods can start from any interiorpoint and are considered as one of the more effective methods than affine scaling methods which give a. good computational performance in practice. Here one of the infeasible methods which is referred to as the Mehrotra type predictor-corrector method is considered and the effects of its implementations on the computational efficiency are evaluated by numerical studies. For numerical studies, MARKAL type energy model. is used, which is a well known large scale linearprogramming problem in energy technology analysis area. In this paper, the algorithm is divided into three parts: i) Ordering which is used in order to keep the sparseness of matrices, ii) LU factorization which is used for obtaining a search direction, and iii) basis recovery. The most effective implementation at each part is suggested. By using the combination of the most effective implementations, a problem with 3,246 constraints has been solved about 70 times faster than by using a product form simplex method.

Based on the deformation theory of linear hardening materials, a simplified finite element analysis method is proposed to calculate the limit load of structures. Compared with the general elasto-plastic incremental finite element analysis, the proposed method can avoid the incremental iteration of nodal displacements and the constitutive equation integration at each Gauss integral point. Compared with the mathematical programming method combined with finite element analysis, the proposed method shows theoretical simplicity and avoids bringing in complex mathematical theories. It is also easy to put into code. Compared with some current limit analysis methods, such as the GLOSS R-Node method and the elastic compensation method, the present method gives a remarkably accurate estimation of limit loads instead of just a simple lower or upper bound. Numerical examples have demonstrated that it is effective and the computational results are accurate enough to meet the need of engineering practice. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.

This research effort focuses on large-scale linearprogramming problems that arise in the context of solving various problems such as discrete linear or polynomial, and continuous nonlinear, nonconvex programming problems, using linearization and branch-and-cut algorithms for the discrete case, and using polyhedral outer-approximation methods for the continuous case. These problems arise in various applications in production planning, location-allocation, game theory, economics, and many engineering and systems design problems. During the solution process of discrete or continuous nonconvex problems using polyhedral approaches, one has to contend with repeatedly solving large-scale linearprogramming(LP) relaxations. Thus, it becomes imperative to employ an efficient method in solving these problems. It has been amply demonstrated that solving LP relaxations using a simplex-based algorithm, or even an interior-point type of procedure, can be inadequately slow ( especially in the presence of complicating constraints, dense coefficient matrices, and ill-conditioning ) in comparison with a Lagrangian Relaxation approach. With this motivation, we present a practical primal-dual subgradient algorithm that incorporates a dual ascent, a primal recovery, and a penalty function approach to recover a near optimal and feasible pair of primal and dual solutions.
The proposed primal-dual approach is comprised of three stages. Stage I deals with solving the Lagrangian dual problem by using various subgradient deflection strategies such as the Modified Gradient Technique (MGT), the Average Direction Strategy (ADS), and a new direction strategy called the Modified Average Direction Strategy (M-ADS). In the latter, the deflection parameter is determined based on the process of projecting the unknown optimal direction onto the space spanned by the current subgradient direction and the previous direction. This projected direction approximates the desired optimal direction as closely

In semidefinite programming, one minimizes a linear function subject to the constraint that an affine combination of symmetric matrices is positive semidefinite. Such a constraint is nonlinear and nonsmooth, but convex, so semidefinite programs are convex optimization problems. Semidefinite programming unifies several standard problems (e.g., linear and quadratic programming) and finds many applications in engineering and combinatorial optimization. Although semidefinite programs are much more general than linear programs, they are not much harder to solve. Most interior-pointmethods for linearprogramming have been generalized to semidefinite programs. As in linearprogramming, these methods have polynomial worst-case complexity and perform very well in practice. This paper gives a survey of the theory and applications of semidefinite programs and an introduction to primal-dual interior-pointmethods for their solution.
