# Python script to illustrate the convergence of Karmarkar's algorithm on
# a linear programming problem.
#
# http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karmarkar%27s_algorithm
#
# Karmarkar's algorithm is an algorithm introduced by Narendra Karmarkar in 1984
# for solving linear programming problems. It was the first reasonably efficient
# algorithm that solves these problems in polynomial time.
#
# Karmarkar's algorithm falls within the class of interior point methods: the
# current guess for the solution does not follow the boundary of the feasible
# set as in the simplex method, but it moves through the interior of the feasible
# region, improving the approximation of the optimal solution by a definite
# fraction with every iteration, and converging to an optimal solution with
# rational data.

Updated the header line.
