Abstract

Semidefinite optimization has an ever growing family of crucial applications, and large neighborhood interior point methods (IPMs) yield the method of choice to solve them. This chapter reviews the fundamental concepts and complexity results of Self-Regular (SR) IPMs for semidefinite optimizaion, that up to a log factor achieve the best polynomial complexity bound of small neighborhood IPMs. SR kernel functions are in the core of SR-IPMs. This chapter reviews several none SR kernel functions too. IPMs based on theses kernel functions enjoy similar iteration complexity bounds as SR-IPMs, though their complexity analysis requires additional tools.

As we see the right hand side of the last equation in (15.11) is the negative gradient of the classical logarithmic barrier function ψ(V ) (see Definition 3 on p. 9), where
$$\psi (t) = \frac{{t}^{2} - 1} {2} -\log t.$$
