Abstract

In this paper, we give a new strategy in the complexity analysis of an infeasible-interior-point method for symmetric cone programming. Using the strategy, we improve the theoretical complexity bound of an infeasible-interior-point method. Convergence is shown for a commutative class of search directions, which includes the Nesterov–Todd direction and the \(xs\) and \(sx\) directions.
