Sensitivity analysis in linear programming and semidefinite programming using interior-point methods

We analyze perturbations of the right-hand side and the cost parameters in linear programming (LP) and semidefinite programming (SDP). We obtain tight bounds on the perturbations that allow interior-point method:, to recover feasible and near-optimal solutions in a single interior-point iteration. F or the unique. nondegenerate solution case in LP, we show that the bounds o btained using interior-point methods compare nicely with the hounds arising from using the optimal basis. We also present explicit bounds for SDP usin g the Monteiro-Zhang family of search directions and specialize them to the AHO, H..K..M, and NT directions.
