A polynomial projection-type algorithm for linear programming

Abstract

We propose a simple O([n5/logn]L) algorithm for linear programming feasibility, that can be considered as a polynomial-time implementation of the relaxation method. Our work draws from Chubanov’s “Divide-and-Conquer” algorithm (Chubanov, 2012), with the recursion replaced by a simple and more efficient iterative method. A similar approach was used in a more recent paper of Chubanov (2013).
