Continuous -step Conjecture for central-path curvature
Let denote the largest total curvature of a central path over polytopes defined by inequalities in dimension and over all linear objectives.
Continuous -step Conjecture. The function grows linearly in its input; that is,
The source states that this conjecture is equivalent to the Continuous Hirsch Conjecture. The supplied material gives no resolution of either conjecture.
