An Efficient Implementation of Interior-Point Methods for a Class of Nonsymmetric Cones

We present an implementation of interior-point methods for generalized power cones, power mean cones and relative entropy cones, by exploiting underlying low-rank and sparsity properties of the Hessians of their logarithmically homogeneous self-concordant barrier functions. We prove that the augment...

description We present an implementation of interior-point methods for generalized power cones, power mean cones and relative entropy cones, by exploiting underlying low-rank and sparsity properties of the Hessians of their logarithmically homogeneous self-concordant barrier functions. We prove that the augmented linear system in our interior-point method can be sparse and quasidefinite after adding a static regularization term, enabling the use of sparse LDL factorization for nonsymmetric cones. Numerical results show that our implementation can exploit sparsity in our test examples.
