# TAOIPM
Interior point algorithm for generally constrained optimization. 
## Options Database Keys

- ***-tao_ipm_pushnu -*** parameter to push initial dual variables away from bounds
- ***-tao_ipm_pushs -*** parameter to push initial slack variables away from bounds



## Notes
This algorithm is more of a place-holder for future constrained optimization algorithms and should not yet be used for large problems or production code.
