Abstract

In the last chapter, we saw that small modifications to the primal–dual interiorpoint algorithm allow it to be applied to quadratic programming problems as long as the quadratic objective function is convex. In this chapter, we shall go further and allow the objective function to be a general (smooth) convex function. In addition, we shall allow the feasible region to be any convex set given by a finite collection of convex inequalities.
