This paper presents a logarithmic barrier method for solving a linear programming problem. We are interested in computation of the direction by the Newton's method and in computation of the displacement step using majorant functions instead line search methods in order to reduce the computation cost. This purpose is confirmed by numerical experiments, showing the efficiency of our approach, which are presented in the last section of this paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
