Abstract

We consider solving a sequence of weighted linear least squares problems where the changes from one problem to the next are the weights and the right hand side (or data). This is the case for primal-dual interior-point methods. We derive a class of preconditioners based on a low rank correction to a Cholesky factorization of a weighted normal equation coefficient matrix with the previous weight.
