We develop a variant of an interior point method for solving two-stage stochastic linear programming problems. The problems are solved in a deterministic equivalent form in which the first stage variables appear as dense columns. To avoid their degrading influence on the adjacency structure AA (and the Cholesky factor) an iterative method is applied to compute orthogonal projections. Conjugate ...
