Title: Smoothed analysis of the simplex method


Abstract: The simplex method is a combinatorial algorithm forsolving linear optimization problems. The algorithm is very efficient inpractice, but theoretical explanations of this fact are lacking. In this talk,I will describe one of the primary theoretical frameworks for analysing thesimplex method, smoothed analysis, and present upper and lower bounds on thealgorithm's running time.
