Progress in Mathematical Programming: Interior-Point and Related Methods

The starting point of this volume was a conference entitled "Progress in Mathematical Programming", held at the Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove, California, March 1-4, 1987. The main topic of the conference was developments in the theory and practice of linear programming since Karmarka's algorithm. Presentations included new algorithms, new analysis of algorithms, reports on computational experience, and some other topics related to the practice of mathematical programming.
