Abstract

Given an arbitrary point (x, u) inR n × R m + , we give bounds on the Euclidean distance betweenx and the unique solution\(\bar x\) to a strongly convex program in terms of the violations of the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions by the arbitrary point (x, u). These bounds are then used to derive linearly and superlinearly convergent iterative schemes for obtaining the unique least 2-norm solution of a linear program. These schemes can be used effectively in conjunction with the successive overrelaxation (SOR) methods for solving very large sparse linear programs.
