Abstract

In this paper we develop new primal-dual interior-point methods for linear programming problems, which are based on the concept of parabolic target space. We show that such schemes work in the infinity-neighborhood of the primal-dual central path. Nevertheless, these methods possess the best known complexity estimate. We demonstrate that the adaptive-step path-following strategies can be naturally incorporated in such schemes.
