Zusammenfassung:
In this paper we consider properties of the central path and the analytic center of the optimalface in the context of parametric linear programming. We first show that if the right-hand sidevector of a standard linear program is perturbed, then the analytic center of the optimal face isone-side differentiable with respect to the perturbation parameter. In that case we also showthat the whole analytic central path shifts in a uniform fashion. When the objective vector isperturbed, we show that the last part of the analytic central pathis tangent to a central path defined on the optimal face of the original problem.
