In this paper we generalize the primal--dual cone affine scaling algorithm of Sturm and Zhang to semidefinite programming.We show in this paper that the underlying ideas of the cone affine scaling algorithm can be naturely applied to semidefiniteprogramming, resulting in a new algorithm....

In this paper we discuss a locational model with a profit-maximizing objective. The model can be illustrated by the followingsituation. There is a set of potential customers in a given region. A firm enters the market and wants to sell a certainproduct to this set of customers. The location and...

In this paper we consider optimization problems defined by a quadraticobjective function and a finite number of quadratic inequality constraints.Given that the objective function is bounded over the feasible set, we presenta comprehensive study of the conditions under which the optimal solution...
