Convergence Analysis of Generalized Primal-Dual Interior-Point Algorithms for Linear Optimization
Wei, Hua (University of Waterloo, 2002)We study the zeroth-, first-, and second-order algorithms proposed by Tuncel. The zeroth-order algorithms are the generalization of the classic primal-dual affine-scaling methods, and have a strong connection with the ... -
Numerical Stability in Linear Programming and Semidefinite Programming
Wei, Hua (University of Waterloo, 2006)We study numerical stability for interior-point methods applied to Linear Programming, LP, and Semidefinite Programming, SDP. We analyze the difficulties inherent in current methods and present robust algorithms. ... -
Surface Tension Measurement of High Density Polyethylene and Its Clay Nanocomposites in Supercritical Nitrogen
Wei, Hua (University of Waterloo, 2009-08-14)Surface tension of a polymer melt in a supercritical fluid is a principal factor in determining cell nucleation and growth in polymer microcellular foaming. Previous work has presented the surface tension of the amorphous ...
