For the last decade, interior-point methods that use barrier functions induced by some real univariate kernel functions have been studied. In these interior-point methods, the algorithm stops when a solution is found such that it is close (in the barrier function sense) to a point in the central path with the desired accuracy. However, this does not directly imply that the algorithm generates a solution with prescribed accuracy. Until now, this had not been appropriately addressed. In this paper, we analyze the accuracy of the solution produced by the aforementioned algorithm.
We present a generalization to symmetric optimization of interior-point methods for linear optimization based on kernel functions. Symmetric optimization covers the three most common conic optimization problems: linear, second-order cone and semi-definite optimization problems. Namely, we adapt the interior-point algorithm described in Peng et al. [Self-regularity: A New Paradigm for Primal–Dual Interior-point Algorithms. Princeton University Press, Princeton, NJ, 2002.] for linear optimization to symmetric optimization. The analysis is performed through Euclidean Jordan algebraic tools and a complexity bound is derived.
