- The recent advance of algorithms for nonlinear semi-definite optimization problems, called NSDPs, is remarkable. Yamashita et al. first proposed a primal-dual interior point method (PDIPM) for solving NSDPs using the family of Monteiro-Zhang (MZ) search directions. Since then, various kinds of PDIPMs have been proposed for NSDPs, but, as far as we know, all of them are based on the MZ family. In this paper, we present a PDIPM equipped with the family of Monteiro-Tsuchiya (MT) directions, which were originally devised for solving linear semi-definite optimization problems as were the MZ family. We further prove local superlinear convergence to a Karush-Kuhn-Tucker point of the NSDP in the presence of certain general assumptions on scaling matrices, which are used in producing the MT scaling directions.
