In particular, if $\\leq_\\mathcal{K}$ is the partial order induced by a proper convex cone $\\mathcal{K}$, then conic LPs over $[l,u]_{\\mathcal{K}}=\\{ l\\leq_\\mathcal{K} x\\leq_\\mathcal{K} u\\}$ can be solved whenever optimizing a linear function over $[l,u]_{\\mathcal{K}}$ is fast. This generalizes the result for the case of $\\mathcal{K}=\\mathbb{R}^n_+$ that was originally proposed for using the method. Specifically, we show how to adapt this method for both SOCP and SDP problems and illustrate the method with a few experiments.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-11-28T17:50:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "90C05", "90C53", "90C22" ], "keywords": [ "lp-newton method", "conic optimization", "conic lps", "proper convex cone", "linear optimization" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
