A Newton-type method for sparse quadratic programming problems

Conference ·
OSTI ID:36009

We consider the quadratic programming problem min (1/2)x{sup T} Qx + q{sup T} x subject to Ax {<=} {alpha} with a n {times} n positive semidefinite matrix Q and a m {times} n matrix A. The method we want to propose is based on a special transformation of the above problem into an equivalent nonlinear system of equations. To solve this a damped Newton-type method will be suggested. In particular, the talk will deal with the following topics: (1) Solvability of all occurring Newton subproblems; (2) Global convergence; (3) Fast local convergence; (4) Decomposition of the subproblems with the aim that a sparse structure can be exploited efficiently; (5) Numerical experience, e.g. for sparse problems from shape preserving spline interpolation.
