Primal-dual interior point method for hierarchical least-squares programs with linear constraints

This software provides an interior-point method for hierarchical least-squares programs with linear constraints. The corresponding paper can be found here "NIPM-HLSP: An Efficient Interior-Point Method for Hierarchical Least-Squares Programs" ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/2106.13602.pdf ).

NIPM-HLSP solves hierarchical least-squares problems of the form

min. x: ||A_l x - b_l||_2^2 , l = 1,...,p

s.t \underline{A}{l-1} x - \underline{b}{l-1} = w_{l-1}^*

A_l are dense matrices of any form and can be rank-deficient.
