The Interior-Point Methods Online site is no longer maintained.
If you are looking for recent reports on interior-point methods (from 2001 onwards), or if you wish to postyour new report on an online archive, please go toOptimization Online.Reports on interior-point methods can be found on this site in the sections on Linear, Cone and Semidefinite Programming, Nonlinear Optimization, and other categories. You can also search the Optimization Onlinesite by author name or keyword.
This archive of interior-point reports will be left online indefinitely.You are urged to contact the authors to obtain the latest versions ofany reports that catch your interest, or to obtain a reference to thepublished version.

Places
- OOPS, an object-oriented parallel implementation of the interior pointalgorithm developed by Jacek Gondzio,Andreas Grothey and Robert Sarkissian. The code can exploit special structure of the application. It runs on all parallel computing platforms that support MPI.
- MOSEK, an implementation of the homogeneous interior-point algorithm for linear and convex optimization.
- The CPLEX Barrier Solver page-CPLEX's interior-point option.
- Dash Associates, whose products include the "Primal Barrier XPRESS-MP," a primal-dual interior-point code.
- The CPnet page (CP = complementarity problems). The interior-point approach is one of three or four approaches being used to solve complementarity problems.
- The Math Programming page at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
- Semidefinite programming pages are maintained by
- OSL-IBM's Optimization Subroutine Library-contains a primal-dual code with a number of algorithmic options.
- The Optimization Technology Center at Argonne and Northwestern, and the NEOS Server, which includes the linear programming code PCx among its roster of solvers. You can submit an MPS file to NEOS through the Internet, using email, the WWW, or-the sexiest option-a customized submission tool. NEOS solves the problem and returns the results.
- PCx, the NEOS project's primal-dual code.
- Home page for the book Primal-Dual Interior-Point Methods by Steve Wright. Contains links to further information on primal-dual codes.
- Mathematical Programming Glossary maintained by Harvey Greenberg.
- A group of IE students at Berkeley have built a nice interactive demo of linear programming. It allows you to enter a 2D problem, solve it, and view the results graphically.
- Silicon Graphics has an operations research page, which includes information about a parallel implementation of CPLEX/Barrier.
- Home page for a new book called Advances in Linear and Integer Programming (J. E. Beasley, ed., Oxford University Press). This is another collection of papers that includes four or five papers on interior-point methods.
- Home page for the book called Theory and Algorithms for Linear Optimization: An Interior Point Approach by C. Roos, T. Terlaky, and J.-P. Vial, recently published by John Wiley and Sons.
- Home page for the book called Interior Point Methods of Mathematical Programming (T. Terlaky, editor), recently published by Kluwer.

Two undergraduate students at Argonne-Rich Marynowski and Tim Wisniewski-did a lot tobuild and maintain this archive during their respective visits. Marianne Stone chipped inwith some tasteful graphics. Thanks!
