Title: Evaluation of interior-point method in Scilab
Abstract: The interior-point method is one of the best methods for solving linear programming problems. The interior-point method has a polynomial time complexity for solving linear programming problems. Next, Scilab as a free source software provides a function to solve linear programming based on interior-point method, which is called Karmarkar. In this paper, we evaluate some results of Scilab Karmarkar function in solving linear programming problems. We observe that at some cases the results of the Karmarkar function are not as expected.
