Interior point algorithms for solving linear programs have been studied extensively for a long time [e.g. Karmarkar 1984; Lee, Sidford FOCS14; Cohen, Lee, Song STOC19]. For linear programs of the form $min_{Ax=b, x ge 0} c^top x$ with $n$ variables and $d$ constraints, the generic case $d = Omega(n)$ has recently been settled by Cohen, Lee and Song [STOC19]. Their algorithm can solve linear programs in $tilde O(n^omega log(n/delta))$ expected time, where $delta$ is the relative accuracy. This is essentially optimal as all known linear system solvers require up to $O(n^{omega})$ time for solving $Ax = b$. However, for the case of deterministic solvers, the best upper bound is Vaidyas 30 years old $O(n^{2.5} log(n/delta))$ bound [FOCS89]. In this paper we show that one can also settle the deterministic setting by derandomizing Cohen et al.s $tilde{O}(n^omega log(n/delta))$ time algorithm. This allows for a strict $tilde{O}(n^omega log(n/delta))$ time bound, instead of an expected one, and a simplified analysis, reducing the length of their proof of their central path method by roughly half. Derandomizing this algorithm was also an open question asked in Songs PhD Thesis. The main tool to achieve our result is a new data-structure that can maintain the solution to a linear system in subquadratic time. More accurately we are able to maintain $sqrt{U}A^top(AUA^top)^{-1}Asqrt{U}:v$ in subquadratic time under $ell_2$ multiplicative changes to the diagonal matrix $U$ and the vector $v$. This type of change is common for interior point algorithms. Previous algorithms [e.g. Vaidya STOC89; Lee, Sidford FOCS15; Cohen, Lee, Song STOC19] required $Omega(n^2)$ time for this task. [...]
In this note, we study the expander decomposition problem in a more general setting where the input graph has positively weighted edges and nonnegative demands on its vertices. We show how to extend the techniques of Chuzhoy et al. (FOCS 2020) to thi
This paper introduces a new interior point method algorithm that solves semidefinite programming (SDP) with variable size $n times n$ and $m$ constraints in the (current) matrix multiplication time $m^{omega}$ when $m geq Omega(n^2)$. Our algorithm i
We study the decremental All-Pairs Shortest Paths (APSP) problem in undirected edge-weighted graphs. The input to the problem is an $n$-vertex $m$-edge graph $G$ with non-negative edge lengths, that undergoes a sequence of edge deletions. The goal is
In the decremental single-source shortest paths problem, the goal is to maintain distances from a fixed source $s$ to every vertex $v$ in an $m$-edge graph undergoing edge deletions. In this paper, we conclude a long line of research on this problem
Hierarchical matrices are space and time efficient representations of dense matrices that exploit the low rank structure of matrix blocks at different levels of granularity. The hierarchically low rank block partitioning produces representations that
