Abstract: An alternating direction numerical method for a type of inverse quadratic programming problem is considered, we first give an explicit formula of the solution to the matrix-variable sub-problem, and provide two algorithms for finding an approximate solution to the vector-variable subproblem. One of these two algorithms is based on the fixed point theorem and the other is a semi-smooth Newton method. Numerical experiments show the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm for inverse quadratic programming problems.

Key words: inverse problem, alternating direction method, quadratic programming, semi-smooth Newton method
