## Detailed Description

This solves LPs using the predictor-corrector method due to Mehrotra.

It also uses multiple centrality corrections as in Gondzio.

See; S. Mehrotra, "On the implementation of a primal-dual interior point method", SIAM Journal on optimization, 2 (1992) J. Gondzio, "Multiple centraility corrections in a primal-dual method for linear programming", Computational Optimization and Applications,6 (1996)

It is rather basic as Interior point is not my speciality

It inherits from ClpInterior. It has no data of its own and is never created - only cast from a ClpInterior object at algorithm time.

It can also solve QPs
