On the convergence rate of Newton interior-point methods in the absence of strict complementarity. (English) Zbl 0862.90120
Summary: In the absence of strict complementarity, R. D. C. Monteiro and S. J. Wright [Comput. Optim. Appl. 3, No. 2, 131-155 (1994; Zbl 0801.90110)] proved that the convergence rate for a class of Newton interior-point methods for linear complementarity problems is at best linear. They also established an upper bound of 1/4 for the $$Q_1$$-factor of the duality gap sequence when the steplengths converge to one. We prove that the $$Q_1$$ factor of the duality gap sequence is exactly 1/4. In addition, the convergence of the Tapia indicators is also discussed.
