AbstractWe describe a primal-dual interior point algorithm for linear programming problems which requires a total of $$O\left( {\sqrt n L} \right)$$ number of iterations, whereL is the input size. Each iteration updates a penalty parameter and finds the Newton direction associated with the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker system of equations which characterizes a solution of the logarithmic barrier function problem. The algorithm is based on the path following idea.
