Abstract

We present an improved version of a full Nesterov-Todd step infeasible interior-point method for linear complementarity
problem over symmetric cone (Bull. Iranian Math. Soc., 40(3), 541-564, (2014)). In the earlier version, each iteration consisted of one so-called feasibility step and a few -at most three - centering steps. Here, each iteration consists of only a feasibility step. Thus, the new algorithm demands less work in each iteration and admits a simple analysis of complexity bound. The complexity result coincides with the best-known iteration bound for infeasible interior-point methods.
