Since the elimination algorithm of Fourier and Motzkin, many different methods have been developed for solving linear programs. When analyzing the time complexity of LP algorithms, it is typically either assumed that calculations are performed exactly and bounds are derived on the number of elementary arithmetic operations necessary, or the cost of all arithmetic operations is considered through a bit-complexity analysis. Yet in practice, implementations typically use limited-precision arithmetic. In this paper we introduce the idea of a limited-precision LP oracle and study how such an oracle could be used within a larger framework to compute exact precision solutions to LPs. Under mild assumptions, it is shown that a polynomial number of calls to such an oracle and a polynomial number of bit operations, is sufficient to compute an exact solution to an LP. This work provides a foundation for understanding and analyzing the behavior of the methods that are currently most effective in practice for solving LPs exactly.

In this paper we consider a class of convex conic programming. In particular, we propose an inexact augmented Lagrangian (I-AL) method for solving this problem, in which the augmented Lagrangian subproblems are solved approximately by a variant of Ne
sterovs optimal first-order method. We show that the total number of first-order iterations of the proposed I-AL method for computing an $epsilon$-KKT solution is at most $mathcal{O}(epsilon^{-7/4})$. We also propose a modified I-AL method and show that it has an improved iteration-complexity $mathcal{O}(epsilon^{-1}logepsilon^{-1})$, which is so far the lowest complexity bound among all first-order I-AL type of methods for computing an $epsilon$-KKT solution. Our complexity analysis of the I-AL methods is mainly based on an analysis on inexact proximal point algorithm (PPA) and the link between the I-AL methods and inexact PPA. It is substantially different from the existing complexity analyses of the first-order I-AL methods in the literature, which typically regard the I-AL methods as an inexact dual gradient method. Compared to the mostly related I-AL methods cite{Lan16}, our modified I-AL method is more practically efficient and also applicable to a broader class of problems.
This paper discusses the odds problem, proposed by Bruss in 2000, and its variants. A recurrence relation called a dynamic programming (DP) equation is used to find an optimal stopping policy of the odds problem and its variants. In 2013, Buchbinder,
Jain, and Singh proposed a linear programming (LP) formulation for finding an optimal stopping policy of the classical secretary problem, which is a special case of the odds problem. The proposed linear programming problem, which maximizes the probability of a win, differs from the DP equations known for long time periods. This paper shows that an ordinary DP equation is a modification of the dual problem of linear programming including the LP formulation proposed by Buchbinder, Jain, and Singh.
While powerful tools have been developed to analyze quantum query complexity, there are still many natural problems that do not fit neatly into the black box model of oracles. We create a new model that allows multiple oracles with differing costs. T
his model captures more of the difficulty of certain natural problems. We test this model on a simple problem, Search with Two Oracles, for which we create a quantum algorithm that we prove is asymptotically optimal. We further give some evidence, using a geometric picture of Grovers algorithm, that our algorithm is exactly optimal.
In this paper, we present a new, graph-based modeling approach and a polynomial-sized linear programming (LP) formulation of the Boolean satisfiability problem (SAT). The approach is illustrated with a numerical example.
In this paper, an inexact proximal-point penalty method is studied for constrained optimization problems, where the objective function is non-convex, and the constraint functions can also be non-convex. The proposed method approximately solves a sequ
ence of subproblems, each of which is formed by adding to the original objective function a proximal term and quadratic penalty terms associated to the constraint functions. Under a weak-convexity assumption, each subproblem is made strongly convex and can be solved effectively to a required accuracy by an optimal gradient-based method. The computational complexity of the proposed method is analyzed separately for the cases of convex constraint and non-convex constraint. For both cases, the complexity results are established in terms of the number of proximal gradient steps needed to find an $varepsilon$-stationary point. When the constraint functions are convex, we show a complexity result of $tilde O(varepsilon^{-5/2})$ to produce an $varepsilon$-stationary point under the Slaters condition. When the constraint functions are non-convex, the complexity becomes $tilde O(varepsilon^{-3})$ if a non-singularity condition holds on constraints and otherwise $tilde O(varepsilon^{-4})$ if a feasible initial solution is available.
