Interior path following primal-dual algorithms. I: Linear programming. (English) Zbl 0676.90038
Authors’ abstract: “We describe a primal-dual interior point algorithm for linear programming problems which requires a total of O($$\sqrt{n}L)$$ number of iterations, where L is the input size. Each iteration updates a penalty parameter and finds the Newton direction associated with the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker system of equations which characterizes a solution of the logarithmic barrier function problem. The algorithm is based on the path following idea.”
