We prove a complexity dichotomy theorem for Holant Problems on 3-regular graphs with an arbitrary complex-valued edge function. Three new techniques are introduced: (1) higher dimensional iterations in interpolation; (2) Eigenvalue Shifted…

We propose a simple O([n^5/\log n]L) algorithm for linear programming feasibility, that can be considered as a polynomial-time implementation of the relaxation method. Our work draws from Chubanov's "Divide-and-Conquer" algorithm [4], where…
