Abstract: In this paper, we propose an inexact perturbed path-following algorithm in the framework of Lagrangian dual decomposition for solving large-scale structured convex optimization problems. Unlike the exact versions considered in literature, we allow one to solve the primal problem inexactly up to a given accuracy. The inexact perturbed algorithm allows to use both approximate Hessian matrices and approximate gradient vectors to compute Newton-type directions for the dual problem. The algorithm is divided into two phases. The first phase computes an initial point which makes use of inexact perturbed damped Newton-type iterations, while the second one performs the path-following algorithm with inexact perturbed full-step Newton-type iterations. We analyze the convergence of both phases and estimate the worst-case complexity. As a special case, an exact path- following algorithm for Lagrangian relaxation is derived and its worst-case complexity is estimated. This variant possesses some differences compared to the previously known methods. Implementation details are discussed and numerical results are reported.
