``primal_dual_interior_point(Problem)``
=======================================

* ``Problem`` - Problem object implementing ``constrained_optimization_problem_protocol`` and defining ``gradient/2``.


Infeasible-start primal-dual interior-point method with Mehrotra predictor-corrector for general equality, inequality, and box constraints.
