@report {35269, title = {A Primal-Dual Frank-Wolfe Algorithm for Linear Programming}, year = {2024}, abstract = {We present two first-order primal-dual algorithms for solving saddle point formulations of linear programs, namely FWLP (Frank-Wolfe Linear Programming) and FWLP-P. The former iteratively applies the Frank-Wolfe algorithm to both the primal and dual of the saddle point formulation of a standard-form LP. The latter is a modification of FWLP in which regularizing perturbations are used in computing the iterates. We show that FWLP-P converges to a primal-dual solution with error\ O(1/sqrt(k))\ after\ k\ iterations, while no convergence guarantees are provided for FWLP. We also discuss the advantages of using FWLP and FWLP-P for solving very large LPs. In particular, we argue that only part of the matrix\ A\ is needed at each iteration, in contrast to other first-order methods.}, url = {https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.18514}, author = {Matthew Hough and Stephen Vavasis} }
