Abstract

A primal-dual interior point method(IPM) not only is the most efficient method for a computational point of view but also has polynomial complexity. Most of polynomialtime interior point methods(IPMs) are based on the logarithmic barrier functions. Peng et al.([14, 15]) and Roos et al.([3]-[9]) proposed new variants of IPMs based on kernel functions which are called self-regular and eligible functions, respectively. In this paper we define a new kernel function and propose a new IPM based on this kernel function which has $O(n^{\frac{2}{3}}log\frac{n}{\epsilon})$ and $O(\sqrt{n}log\frac{n}{\epsilon})$ iteration bounds for large-update and small-update methods, respectively.
