Conjugate Gradient Based Implementation of Interior
Point Methods for Network Flow Problems
Sanjay Mehrotra and Jen-Shan Wang
This paper suggests enhancements to preconditiond conjugate
gradient based implementation of interior point methods for
linear network optimization problems. A new preconditioner is
proposed and its effectiveness is demonstrated. We propose several
additional refinements to the previous implementations, including
an adaptive conjugate gradient termination criterion, and a new
starting point solution. Our computational results are compared
with results from PDNET, DLNET, CS3.3, RELAX-IV, and NETOPT (CPLEX3.0).
