A Potential Reduction Method for Canonical Duality, with an Application to the Sensor Network Localization Problem

الأصل · EN

We propose to solve large instances of the non-convex optimization problems reformulated with canonical duality theory. To this aim we propose an interior point potential reduction algorithm based on the solution of the primal-dual total complementarity (Lagrange) function. We establish the global convergence result for the algorithm under mild assumptions and demonstrate the method on instances of the Sensor Network Localization problem. Our numerical results are promising and show the possibility of devising efficient interior points methods for non-convex duality.
