2Controls how closely the algorithm should follow the "central path"
3Description::
4The \c centering_parameter specification is a parameter (between 0 and
51) that controls how closely the algorithm should follow the "central
6path".
7See  \cite Wright1 for the definition of central
8path. The larger the value, the more closely the algorithm follows the
9central path, which results in small steps. A value of 0 indicates
10that the algorithm will take a pure Newton step. Default values are
11.2, .2, and .1 for the \c el_bakry, \c argaez_tapia, and \c van_shanno
12merit functions, respectively.
