Abstract:
We present a path-following algorithm for the linear programming problem with a surprisingly simple and elegant proof of its polynomial behaviour. This is done both for the problem in standard form and for its dual problem. We also discuss some implementation strategies.This author completed this work under the support of the research grant No. 1467086 of the Fonds National Suisses de la Recherche Scientifique.
