Clarify the idea of predictor-corrector
stepsize -- > step size (looks a bit better this way, even if optimization people cannot abstain optimizing away the white space in between)
Line 1:
'''Mehrotra's predictor-corrector method''' in [[optimization]] is an implementation of [[interior point method]]s. It was proposed in 1991 by Sanjay Mehrotra.
 
The idea is to first compute an optimizing search direction based on a first order term (predictor). The stepsizestep size that can be taken in this direction is used to evaluate how much centrality correction is needed. Second, a corrector term is computed: this contains both a centrality term and a second order term.
 
Therefore, the search direction is the sum of the predictor direction and the corrector direction.
