Detailed Description

QPALM main solver routines.

Author

This file contains the functions that make up the qpalm algorithm (the functions that qpalm_solve will use). These include the computation of the residuals at the start of the iteration, the update of the primal variables in an inner iteration, the update of the penalty factors and dual variables in an outer iteration, the computation of the primal and dual objective values, etc.

Function Documentation

boost_gamma()

void boost_gamma	(	QPALMWorkspace *	work,
		solver_common *	c
	)

Maximize the proximal penalty.

The proximal penalty parameter can be increased when the primal residual is low and the number of active constraints no longer changes. Increasing the proximal penalty will significantly speed up the convergence of the dual residual in that case. First, the maximum allowed value is computed, based on the fact that \(Q+A^T \Sigma A + \frac{1}{\gamma}I\) should be sufficiently positive definite for the factorization routines.

update_primal_iterate()

void update_primal_iterate	(	QPALMWorkspace *	work,
		solver_common *	c
	)

Update the primal iterate.

This function calls the functions that compute the newton direction and stepsize from exact linesearch, and applies the update.

Parameters

		c_float *	eps_k_abs,
		c_float *	eps_k_rel

NB Implementation detail: store Einv*Ax and Einv*z in temp_2m. The infinity norm of that vector is then equal to the maximum of both norms.

update_sigma()

void update_sigma	(	QPALMWorkspace *	work,
		solver_common *	c
	)

Update the penalty factors.

Constraints that are active are penalized in proportion to their constraint violation. If the number of changed penalty parameters is low, and the proximal penalty need not be further updated, then the factor LD is updated using a low-rank update based on the changed penalty factors.

Parameters
