We introduce an algorithm which can be directly used to feasible and optimum search in linear programming. Starting from an initial point the algorithm iteratively moves a point in a direction to resolve the violated constraints. At the…

We study how much a linear program (LP) can be compressed when solved repeatedly, given prior knowledge about its objective function. Existing data-driven projection methods learn low-dimensional surrogate LPs with approximate…

We study computing geometric problems on uncertain points. An uncertain point is a point that does not have a fixed location, but rather is described by a probability distribution. When these probability distributions are restricted to a…

A perfect matching in an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ is a set of vertex disjoint edges from $E$ that include all vertices in $V$. The perfect matching problem is to decide if $G$ has such a matching. Recently Rothvo{\ss} proved the striking…
