| Summary:
             | 
Nonlinear rescaling is a tool for solving large-scale nonlinear programming problems. The primal-dual nonlinear rescaling method was used to solve two quadratic programming problems with quadratic constraints. Based on the performance of primal-dual nonlinear rescaling method on testing problems, the conclusions about setting up the parameters are made. Next, the connection between nonlinear rescaling methods and self-concordant functions is discussed and modified logarithmic barrier function is recommended as a suitable nonlinear rescaling function. (English) |
