Recent studies on the kernel function-based primal-dual interior-point algorithms indicate that a kernel function not only represents a measure of the distance between the iteration and the central path, but also plays a critical role in improving the computational complexity of an...

We consider semidefinite programming (SDP) formulations of certain truss topology optimization problems, where a lower bound is imposed on the fundamental fre-quency of vibration of the truss structure.These SDP formulations were introduced in: [M.Ohsaki, K.Fujisawa, N.Katoh and Y.Kanno,...
