The Matou\v{s}ek LP-type problems were used by Matou\v{s}ek to show that the Sharir-Welzl algorithm may require at least subexponential time. Later, G\"artner translated this result into the language of Unique Sink Orientations (USOs) and…

A unique sink orientation (USO) is an orientation of the edges of a hypercube such that each face has a unique sink. Many optimization problems like linear programs reduce to USOs, in the sense that each vertex corresponds to a possible…

A unique sink orientation (USO) is an orientation of the hypercube graph with the property that every face has a unique sink. A number of well-studied problems reduce in strongly polynomial time to finding the global sink of a USO; most…

A unique sink orientation (USO) is an orientation of the $n$-dimensional hypercube graph such that every non-empty face contains a unique sink. Schurr showed that given any $n$-dimensional USO and any dimension $i$, the set of edges $E_i$…

A unique sink orientation (USO) is an orientation of the $n$-dimensional cube graph ($n$-cube) such that every face (subcube) has a unique sink. The number of unique sink orientations is $n^{\Theta(2^n)}$. If a cube orientation is not a…

An orientation of a grid is called unique sink orientation (USO) if each of its nonempty subgrids has a unique sink. Particularly, the original grid itself has a unique global sink. In this work we investigate the problem of how to find the…

Unique-sink orientations (USOs) are an abstract class of orientations of the n-cube graph. We consider some classes of USOs that are of interest in connection with the linear complementarity problem. We summarise old and show new lower and…

Klaus showed that the Oriented Matroid Complementarity Problem (OMCP) can be solved by a reduction to the problem of sink-finding in a unique sink orientation (USO) if the input is promised to be given by a non-degenerate extension of a…

We consider quantum algorithms for the unique sink orientation problem on cubes. This problem is widely considered to be of intermediate computational complexity. This is because there no known polynomial algorithm (classical or quantum)…

A unique sink orientation (USO) is an orientation of the edges of a polytope in which every face contains a unique sink. For a product of simplices $\Delta_{m-1} \times \Delta_{n-1}$, Felsner, G\"artner and Tschirschnitz (2005) characterize…

In eXplainable Constraint Solving (XCS), it is common to extract a Minimal Unsatisfiable Subset (MUS) from a set of unsatisfiable constraints. This helps explain to a user why a constraint specification does not admit a solution. Finding…
