Potential Reduction Algorithms

Kurt M. Anstreicher

This is a survey paper on potential reduction algorithms for linear programming. It will appear as a chapter in the book Interior Point Methods in Mathematical Programming, T. Terlaky, editor (Kluwer, 1996). The paper is at a lower level than Mike Todd's survey paper on the same topic. The main topics covered are Karmarkar's algorithm, the affine potential reduction algorithm, and the primal-dual potential reduction algorithm. The level is appropriate for a PhD course, or perhaps an advanced undergraduate course. The paper has a very extensive bibliography.
