Abstract

We consider the minimization of a convex function on a bounded polyhedron (polytope) represented by linear equality constraints and non-negative variables. We define the Levenberg–Marquardt and central trajectories starting at the analytic center using the same parameter, and show that they satisfy a primal-dual relationship, being close to each other for large values of the parameter. Based on this, we develop an algorithm that starts computing primal-dual feasible points on the Levenberg–Marquardt trajectory and eventually moves to the central path. Our main theorem is particularly relevant in quadratic programming, where points on the primal-dual Levenberg–Marquardt trajectory can be calculated by means of a system of linear equations. We present some computational tests related to box constrained trust region subproblems.
