A nontangential cutting plane algorithm. (English) Zbl 1018.90032

The author examines the cutting plane algorithm for solving the Lagrangian dual problem of a convex program. This paper demonstrates that the algorithm still converges to an optimal solution when cuts are nontangential or generated by not solving the optimality or nearly so. Computational results from randomly generated linear and quadratic programming problems indicate that nontangential cuts can lead to a more efficient algorithm.
