Abstract

In this paper, we present an improved version of the infeasible-interior-point method for linear optimization introduced by Roos (SIAM J Optim 16(4):1110–1136, 2006). Each main step of Roos’s algorithm is composed of one feasibility step and several centering steps. By using a new search direction, we prove that it is enough to take only one step in order to obtain a polynomial-time method. The iteration bound coincides with the currently best iteration bound for linear optimization problems.
