Abstract
We describe the convergence behavior of Karmarkar's projective algorithm for solving a simple linear program. We show that the algorithm requires at least n − 1 iterations to reach the optimal solution, while the simplex method may need one pivot step. Thus in the worst case, Karmarkar's algorithm will require at least Ω(n) iterations to converge.
