We present a general framework whereby analysis of interior-point algorithms for semidefinite programming can be extended verbatim to optimization problems over all classes of symmetric cones derivable from associative algebras. In particular, such analyses are extendible to the cone of positive semidefinite Hermitian matrices with complex and quaternion entries, and to the Lorentz cone. We prove the case of the Lorentz cone by using the embedding of its associated Jordan algebra in the…

On the optimal parameter of a self-concordant barrier over a symmetric cone
The Q Method for Symmetric Cone Programming
TLDR
It is proved that in the presence of certain non-degeneracies the Jacobian of the Newton system is nonsingular at the optimum and can be used to “warm-start” a slightly perturbed symmetric cone program.

Extension of Karmarkar's algorithm onto convex quadratically constrained quadratic problems
TLDR
The analogue of Karmarkar's projective transformation and logarithmic barrier function are built and this allows to extend “word by word” the method of KARMarkar for LP to QCQP and allows to obtain a similar polynomial worst-case bound for the number of iterations.
