摘要

In this paper we present a new primal-dual path-following interior-point algorithm for semidefinite optimization. The algorithm is based on a new technique for finding the search direction and the strategy of the central path. At each iteration, we use only full Nesterov-Todd step. Moreover, we obtain the currently best known iteration bound for the algorithm with small-update method, namely, 0(root n log n/epsilon), which is as good as the linear analogue.
