The Nesterov-Todd Direction and its Relation to Weighted Analytic Centers

The subject of this report concerns differential-geometric properties of the Nesterov-Todd search direction for linear optimization over symmetric cones. In particular, we investigate the rescaled asymptotics of the associated flow near the central path. Our results imply that the Nesterov-Todd dire...

description The subject of this report concerns differential-geometric properties of the Nesterov-Todd search direction for linear optimization over symmetric cones. In particular, we investigate the rescaled asymptotics of the associated flow near the central path. Our results imply that the Nesterov-Todd direction arises as the solution of a Newton system defined in terms of a certain transformation of the primal-dual feasible domain. This transformation has especially appealing properties which generalize the notion of weighted analytic centers for linear programming.
