Abstract:

In this paper,  a new one-step smoothing Newton method is investigated for solving the second-order cone programming (SOCP). Based on a new smoothing function of the vector minimum function, the proposed algorithm reformulates the SOCP as a nonlinear system of equations and then applies Newton's method to the system. This algorithm does not require the initial point and iteration points to be in the sets of strictly feasible solutions, and solves only one linear system of equations and performs only one line search at each iteration. Without strict complementarity, it is proved that the proposed algorithm is globally and locally quadratically convergent. Numerical experiments demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of our algorithm.

Key words: Second-order cone programming, Smoothing Newton method, Smoothing function, Global convergence, Quadratical convergence
