  • Abstract:

    Explaining why the simplex method is fast in practice, despite it taking exponential time in the theoretical worst case, continues to be a challenge. Smoothed analysis is a paradigm for addressing this question. During my talk I will present recent progress in the smoothed complexity of the simplex method, discussing both upper and lower bounds.
