Title
Linear programming and the newton barrier flow.
Abstract
In this note we report a simple characteristic of linear programming central trajectories which has a surprising consequence. Specifically, we show that given a bounded polyhedral setP with nonempty interior, the logarithmic barrier function (with no objective component) induces a vector field of negative Newton directions which flows from the center ofP, along central trajectories, to solutions of every possible linear program onP.
