Everything about Interior-point method

Algorithms for solving convex optimization problems

Interior-point methods are algorithms for solving linear and non-linear convex optimization problems. IPMs combine two advantages of previously-known algorithms:Theoretically, their run-time is polynomial—in contrast to the simplex method, which has exponential run-time in the worst case. Practically, they run as fast as the simplex method—in contrast to the ellipsoid method, which has polynomial run-time in theory but is very slow in practice. Wikipedia →
