Recent advances in linear programming solution methodology have focused on interior point methods. This powerful new class of methods achieves significant reductions in computer time for large linear programs and solves problems significantly larger than previously possible. These methods can be examined from points of Fiacco and McCormick's barrier method, Lagrangian duality, Newton's method, and others. This study presents a primal-dual log barrier algorithm of interior point methods for linear programming. The primal-dual log barrier method is currently the most efficient and successful variant of interior point methods. This paper also addresses a Cholesky factorization method of symmetric positive definite matrices arising in interior point methods. A special structure of the matrices, called supernode, is exploited to use computational techniques such as direct addressing and loop-unrolling. Two dense matrix handling techniques are also presented to handle dense columns of the original matrix A. The two techniques may minimize storage requirement for factor matrix L and a smaller number of arithmetic operations in the matrix L computation.

We use an improved Newton-Kantorovich theorem introduced in [2] to analyze interior point methods. Our approach requires less number of steps than before [5] to achieve a certain error tolerance for both Newton's and Modified Newton's methods.

The Interior point method in linear programming is classified into two categories the affine-scaling method and the logarithmic barrier method. In this paper, we integrate those methods and implement them in one shared module. First, we analyze the procedures of two interior point methods and then find a unified formula in finding directions to improve the current solution and conditions to terminate the procedure. Second, we build the shared modules which can be used in each interior point method. Then these modules are experimented in NETLIB problems.

Every iteration of interior-point methods of large scale optimization requires computing at least one orthogonal projection. In the practice, symmetric variants of the Gaussian elimination such as Cholesky factorization are accepted as the most efficient and sufficiently stable method. In this paper several specific implementation issues of the symmetric factorization that can be applied for solving such equations are discussed. The code called McSML being the result of this work is shown to produce comparably sparse factors as another implementations in the $MATLAB^{***}$ environment. It has been used for computing projections in an efficient implementation of self-regular based interior-point methods, McIPM. Although primary aim of developing McSML was to embed it into an interior-point methods optimizer, the code may equally well be used to solve general large sparse systems arising in different applications.

This paper proposes an infeasible interior-point algorithm with full-Newton step for linear programming. We introduce a special self-regular proximity to induce the feasibility step and also to measure proximity to the central path. The result of polynomial complexity coincides with the best-known iteration bound for infeasible interior-point methods, namely, O(n log n/${\varepsilon}$).

This paper proposes a new Interior Point Method algorithm to improve the computation speed and solution stability, which have been challenging problems for employing the nonlinear Optimal Power Flow. The proposed algorithm is different from the tradition Interior Point Methods in that it adopts the Predictor-Corrector Method. It also accommodates the five minute dispatch, which is highly recommenced in modern electricity market. Finally, the efficiency and applicability of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated with a case study.

We propose a new dual simplex method using a primal interior point. The dropping variable is chosen by utilizing the primal feasible interior point. For a given dual feasible basis, its corresponding primal infeasible basic vector and the interior point are used for obtaining a decreasing primal feasible point The computation time of moving on interior point in our method takes much less than that od Karmarker-type interior methods. Since any polynomial time interior methods can be applied to our method we conjectured that a slight modification of our method can give a polynomial time complexity.

Cholesky factorization is known to be inefficient to problems with dense column and network problems in interior point methods. We use the conjugate gradient method and preconditioners to improve the convergence rate of the conjugate gradient method. Several preconditioners were applied to LPABO 5.1 and the results were compared with those of CPLEX 3.0. The conjugate gradient method shows to be more efficient than Cholesky factorization to problems with dense columns and network problems. The incomplete Cholesky factorization preconditioner shows to be the most efficient among the preconditioners.

When infeasible interior-point methods are applied to large-scale linear programming problems, they become unstable and cannot solve the problems if convergence rates of primal feasibility, dual feasibility and duality gap are not well-balanced. We can balance convergence rates of primal feasibility, dual feasibility and duality gap by introducing control parameters. As a result, the stability and the efficiency of infeasible interior-point methods can be improved.

In this paper we propose new primal-dual interior point methods (IPMs) for $P_*(\kappa)$ linear complementarity problems (LCPs) and analyze the iteration complexity of the algorithm. New search directions and proximity measures are defined based on a class of kernel functions, $\psi(t)=\frac{t^2-1}{2}-{\int}^t_1e{^{q(\frac{1}{\xi}-1)}d{\xi}$, $q\;{\geq}\;1$. If a strictly feasible starting point is available and the parameter $q\;=\;\log\;\(1+a{\sqrt{\frac{2{\tau}+2{\sqrt{2n{\tau}}+{\theta}n}}{1-{\theta}}\)$, where $a\;=\;1\;+\;\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+2{\kappa}}}$, then new large-update primal-dual interior point algorithms have $O((1\;+\;2{\kappa})\sqrt{n}log\;n\;log\;{\frac{n}{\varepsilon}})$ iteration complexity which is the best known result for this method. For small-update methods, we have $O((1\;+\;2{\kappa})q{\sqrt{qn}}log\;{\frac{n}{\varepsilon}})$ iteration complexity.
