Detailed Description

This class implements a very silly algorithm.

It has no merit apart from the fact that it gets an approximate solution to some classes of problems. Better if vaguely homogeneous. It works on problems where volume algorithm works and often gets a better primal solution but it has no dual solution.

It can also be used as a "crash" to get a problem started. This is probably its most useful function.

It is based on the idea that algorithms with terrible convergence properties may be okay at first. Throw in some random dubious tricks and the resulting code may be worth keeping as long as you don't look at it.
