    The authors present a primal-dual scaled Gauss-Newton direction for semidefinite optimization which allows polynomial worst-case iteration complexity analysis. This analysis was inspired by the Gausss-Newton direction studied by \textit{S. Kruk, M. Muramatsu, F. Rendl, R. J. Vanderbei} and \textit{H. Wolkowicz} [The Gauss-Newton direction in semidefinite programming, Research Report CORR 98-16, University of Waterloo, Dept. Combinatorics and Optimization, Waterloo, Canada (1998)] but the new direction seems much more amenable to complexity analysis, due to the use of scaling and a local norm in the definition of the least squares problem. In particular, the usual \(O(\sqrt n)\) iteration complexity is derived in this paper for the standard small update primal-dual path following algorithms.
