There has been much interest recently in smoothing methods for solving semidefinite programming (SDP). In this paper, based on the equivalent transformation for the optimality conditions of SDP, we present a predictor–corrector smoothing Newton algorithm for SDP. Issues such as the existence of Newton directions, boundedness of iterates, global convergence, and local superlinear convergence of our algorithm are studied under suitable assumptions.
