The main aim of this work is to provide some basis for the development of interior point algorithms to minimize piecewise linear objective functions. Specifically, we study a piecewise linear separable and convex objective function, subject to linear constraints. The available methods in the literature for this class of problem are of the Simplex type, except for specific cases, such as linear fitting in the sense of
