1//! Interior point method for linear programming.
2//!
3//! This module implements the primal-dual interior point method for solving
4//! linear programming problems. Unlike the simplex algorithm which moves along
5//! the edges of the feasible region, interior point methods move through the
6//! interior, making them particularly efficient for large-scale problems.
7//!
8//! Standard form LP:
9//!   minimize    c^T x
10//!   subject to  Ax = b
11//!               x >= 0
12//!
13//! Reference: Z3's optimization components and standard optimization texts.
