In this paper, we present an improved algorithm for the All Pairs Non-decreasing Paths (APNP) problem on weighted simple digraphs, which has running time $\tilde{O}(n^{\frac{3 + \omega}{2}}) = \tilde{O}(n^{2.686})$. Here $n$ is the number…

Given an undirected graph and two disjoint vertex pairs $s_1,t_1$ and $s_2,t_2$, the Shortest two disjoint paths problem (S2DP) asks for the minimum total length of two vertex disjoint paths connecting $s_1$ with $t_1$, and $s_2$ with…
Optimization problems with discrete-continuous decisions are traditionally modeled in algebraic form via (non)linear mixed-integer programming. A more systematic approach to modeling such systems is to use Generalized Disjunctive…
Until now, Computer Scientists have concerned themselves with identifying efficient algorithms for solving the general case of some problem -- that is finding one which performs well when the size of the input tends to infinity. In this…
Latent position models (LPMs) are a large and popular class of models for random graphs. However, fitting Bayesian LPMs is computationally challenging - computing the likelihood even once takes time that is quadratic in the number of…

Interior point algorithms for solving linear programs have been studied extensively for a long time [e.g. Karmarkar 1984; Lee, Sidford FOCS'14; Cohen, Lee, Song STOC'19]. For linear programs of the form $\min_{Ax=b, x \ge 0} c^\top x$ with…
