Abstract

We introduce a particular optimization problem that minimizes the sum of a\nnon-convex quadratic function and logarithmic barrier-functions in a\n\ℓ_\∞-trust-region (i.e. cube). Our paper covers three topics.\n We explain the relevance of the considered problem. We lay out how solutions\nof this problem can be used as efficient step-directions in solution methods\nfor nonlinear programming.\n We present a theoretical algorithm for solving the problem. We show that this\nalgorithm has weak polynomial time-complexity.\n A practical method is under development. In the outlook we discuss how the\ngiven method can be accelerated for better practical performance. We also lay\nout where the difficulties live when trying to formulate an accelerated\nprimal-dual variant.\n
