In this paper, the authors propose a ‘long step’ double scaling algorithm. Its local performance has been compared with those of potential-reduction algorithms. On the basis of this analysis, the authors introduce a polynomial algorithm which combines scaling-steps and potential-reduction steps. The algorithm terminates in
