Illustrating how, when there are alternative optima, Simplex method chooses an extreme point solution, whereas Interior Point/Barrier (without crossover) chooses an interior solution that, loosely speaking, is an average of all extreme point solutions. When there are alternative optima, and there are secondary multi-critera, some users may prefer the unique solution of the barrier method to the essentially random arbitrary choice of one of the extreme point optima.
