Abstract

An algorithm with space dilation is presented, which is the circumscribed ellipsoid method under a certain choice of dilation coefficient. It is shown that its special case is the Yudin–Nemirovsky–Shor ellipsoid method. The application of the algorithm to solving a convex programming problem and the problem of finding a saddle point of a convex-concave function are described.
