Solving Problems with Semidefinite and Related Constraints Using Interior-Point Methods for Nonlinear Programming

Abstract.

 In this paper, we describe how to reformulate a problem that has second-order cone and/or semidefiniteness constraints in order to solve it using a general-purpose interior-point algorithm for nonlinear programming. The resulting problems are smooth and convex, and numerical results from the DIMACS Implementation Challenge problems and SDPLib are provided.
