The two algorithms use the Newton direction and the Euler direction as the predictor directions, respectively. The corrector directions belong to the category of the Alizadeh-Haeberly-Overton （AHO） directions. These algorithms are suitable to the cases of feasible and infeasible interior iterative points. A simpler neighborhood of the central path for the SOCP is proposed, which is the pivotal difference from other interior-point predictor-corrector algorithms. Under some assumptions, the algorithms possess the global, linear, and quadratic convergence. The complexity bound O（rln（εo/ε）） is obtained, where r denotes the number of the second-order cones in the SOCP problem. The numerical results show that the proposed algorithms are effective.展开更多

Based on the relationship between the circular cone and the second-order cone(SOC), we reformulate the CCP problem as the second-order cone problem(SOCP). By extending the nonmonotone line search for unconstrained optimization to the CCP, a nonmonotone smoothing Newton method is proposed for solving the CCP. Under suitable assumptions, the proposed algorithm is shown to be globally and locally quadratically convergent. Some preliminary numerical results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm for solving the CCP.展开更多

This algorithm does not require the feasibility of the initial points and iteration points. Under suitable assumptions, it is shown that the algorithm can find an -approximate solution of an SOCP in at most O（√n ln（ε0/ε）） iterations. The iteration-complexity bound of our algorithm is almost the same as the best known bound of feasible interior point algorithms for the SOCP.展开更多

A number of optimal design criteria to these problems are available in the literature. Various computational techniques are also presented to optimize these criteria chosen. There are many drawbacks in these methods. In this paper, we introduce a unified framework for optimal design of temporal and spatial filters. Most of the optimal design problems of FIR filters and beamformers are included in the framework. It is shown that all the design problems can be reformulated as convex optimization form as the second-order cone programming （SOCP） and solved efficiently via the well-established interior point methods. The main advantage of our SOCP approach as compared with earlier approaches is that it can include most of the existing methods as its special cases, which leads to more flexible designs. Furthermore, the SOCP approach can optimize multiple required performance measures, which is the drawback of earlier approaches. The SOCP approach is also developed to optimally design temporal and spatial two-dimensional filter and spatial matrix filter. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.展开更多
