A Dual and Interior Point Approach to Solve Convex Min-Max Problems

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Nonconvex Optimization and Its Applications ((NOIA,volume 4))

Abstract

In this paper we propose an interior point method for solving the dual form of min-max type problems. The dual variables are updated by means of a scaling supergradient method. The boundary of the dual feasible region is avoided by the use of a logarithmic barrier function. A major difference with other interior point methods is the nonsmoothness of the objective function.
