Abstract

Potential function reduction algorithms for linear programming and the linear complementarity problem use key projections p"x and p"s which are derived from the 'double' potential function, @f(x, s) = o ln(x^Ts)-@S"j" "=" "1^n ln(x"js"j), where x and s are primal and dual slacks vectors. For non-symmetric LP duality we show that the existence of s, y, xsatisfyings = c - A^Ty, Ax = b such that p"x = (@r/x^Ts) Xs - e and p"s = (@r/x^Ts)Sx - e yields simultaneous primal and dual projection-based updating during the process of reducing the potential function o. The role of x, sin an O(@/nL) simultaneous primal-dual update algorithm is discussed.
