Linear Programming in Linear Time When the Dimension Is Fixed

Open access
Megiddo, Nimrod·1984·Journal of the ACM

Abstract

It is demonstrated that the linear programming problem in d variables and n constraints can be solved in O(n) time when d is fixed.This bound follows from a multidimensional search technique which is applicable for quadratic programming as well.There is also developed an algorithm that is polynomial in both n and d provided d is bounded by a certain slowly growing function of n.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
