There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title: Fast Exact Solvers for Linear Programs via Interior Point Methods
Abstract: Recent years have seen tremendous progress in approximate solvers for Linear Programs (LP) based on Interior-Point Methods (IPM). In this talk we show how to leverage these algorithms to design algorithms that solve LPs exactly. The running time of these algorithms depends on the constraint matrix only. We will present these algorithms in two different regimes: In the first, we use approximate LP solvers in a blackbox manner, extending Tardos’s Framework (Oper. Res. ’86). In the second, we design an exact IPM, using ideas of the recent approximate IPMs to improve the running time.
