“…Although many more algorithms have been proposed since then (see, for example, [10,11,12,13,14]), there is no significant improvement in the best polynomial bound for interior-point algorithms, and there is no report of a better algorithm than MPC for general linear programming problems 1 . In fact, the most popular interior-point method software packages implemented MPC, for example, LOQO [16], PCx [17] and LIPSOL [18].…”
