On the central path for nonlinear semidefinite programming

L. M. Grana Drummond, Alfredo Noel Iusem, B. F. Svaiter (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

In this paper we study the well definedness of the central path associated to a given nonlinear (convex) semidefinite programming problem. Under standard assumptions, we establish that the existence of the central path is equivalent to the nonemptiness and boundedness of the optimal set. Other equivalent conditions are given, such as the existence of a strictly dual feasible point or the existence of a single central point.The monotonic behavior of the logarithmic barrier and the objective...

Reformulations in Mathematical Programming: Definitions and Systematics

Leo Liberti (2009)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

A reformulation of a mathematical program is a formulation which shares some properties with, but is in some sense better than, the original program. Reformulations are important with respect to the choice and efficiency of the solution algorithms; furthermore, it is desirable that reformulations can be carried out automatically. Reformulation techniques are widespread in mathematical programming but interestingly they have never been studied under a unified framework. This paper attempts...

Duality theorems for a class of non-linear programming problems.

Shyam S. Chadha (1988)

Trabajos de Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

Duality of linear programming is used to establish an important duality theorem for a class of non-linear programming problems. Primal problem has quasimonotonic objective function and a convex polyhedron as its constraint set.
