Abstract

Kernel-based interior point algorithms (IPA) were developed to improve the theoretical complexity of large step IPAs. In the literature, various kernel functions were defined and an upper bound was given on the iteration number of the corresponding IPAs. In 2010, Lesaja and Roos considered eligible kernel function based IPAs for sufficient linear complementarity problems and provided a general scheme for steps of the complexity analysis. However, this framework necessitates independently verifying its steps for different kernel functions.

To address this challenge, we propose additional, not very restrictive conditions on the class of eligible kernel functions and present a unified analysis for these kernel-based IPAs. Our subset of eligible kernel functions contains all kernel functions with polynomial and exponential barrier terms mentioned in the literature. We demonstrate consistent complexity bounds across all cases.
