+    This implementation computes the analytic or the volumetric center of a polytope given 
+    as a set of linear inequalities P = {x | Ax <= b}. The analytic center is the tminimizer
+    of the log barrier function, i.e., the optimal solution
+    of the following optimization problem (Convex Optimization, Boyd and Vandenberghe, Section 8.5.3),
+
+    \min -\sum \log(b_i - a_i^Tx), where a_i is the i-th row of A.
+
+    The volumetric center is the minimizer of the volumetric barrier function, i.e., the optimal
+    solution of the following optimization problem,
+
+    \min logdet \nabla^2 f(x), where f(x) the log barrier function 
+
+    The function solves the problems by using the Newton method.
+
+    Input: (i)   Matrix A, vector b such that the polytope P = {x | Ax<=b}
+           (ii)  The number of maximum iterations, max_iters
+           (iii) Tolerance parameter grad_err_tol to bound the L2-norm of the gradient
+           (iv)  Tolerance parameter rel_pos_err_tol to check the relative progress in each iteration
+
+    Output: (i)   The Hessian of the barrier function
+            (ii)  The analytic/volumetric center of the polytope
+            (iii) A boolean variable that declares convergence
+
+    Note: Using MT as to deal with both dense and sparse matrices, MT_dense will be the type of result matrix
