A new smoothing Newton-type method for second-order cone programming problems (Q734859)

The authors propose a novel smoothing Newton-type approach for solving a second-order cone optimization problem. The article begins with an introduction to second-order cone programming problems followed by an overview of useful notations and background theorems and properties of the cone. The third section proposes a new smoothing function for the second-order cone, and its links with the Fischer-Burmeister function. The fourth and fifth sections present and study the details of the main algorithm for solving the optimization problem and its convergence properties. The article concludes with a section containing the results of computational experimentation and a list of relevant references.
