A Faster Interior Point Method for Semidefinite Programming
2020 IEEE 61st Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS)(2020)
摘要
Semidefinite programs (SDPs) are a fundamental class of optimization problems with important recent applications in approximation algorithms, quantum complexity, robust learning, algorithmic rounding, and adversarial deep learning. This paper presents a faster interior point method to solve generic SDPs with variable size n ×n and m constraints in time Õ(√n(mn

In the predominant case of m ≥ n, our runtime outperforms that of the previous fastest SDP solver, which is based on the cutting plane method [JLSW20]. Our algorithm's runtime can be naturally interpreted as follows: O(√nlog(1/ε)) is the number of iterations needed for our interior point method, mn
