Efficient LP warmstarting for linear modifications of the constraint matrix
Abstract
We consider the problem of computing the optimal solution and objective of a linear program under linearly changing linear constraints. More specifically, we want to compute the optimal solution of a linear optimization where the constraint matrix linearly depends on a paramater that can take p different values. Based on the information given by a precomputed basis, we present three efficient LP warm-starting algorithms. Each algorithm is either based on the eigenvalue decomposition, the Schur decomposition, or a tweaked eigenvalue decomposition to evaluate the optimal solution and optimal objective of these problems. The three algorithms have an overall complexity O(m^3 + pm^2) where m is the number of constraints of the original problem and p the number of values of the parameter that we want to evaluate. We also provide theorems related to the optimality conditions to verify when a basis is still optimal and a local bound on the objective.
