On linear-time deterministic algorithms for optimization problems in fixed dimension

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › peer-review

Abstract

We show that with recently developed derandomization techniques, one can convert Clarkson's randomized algorithm for linear programming in fixed dimension into a linear-time deterministic one. The constant of proportionality is d^O(d), which is better than for previously known such algorithms. We show that the algorithm works in a fairly general abstract setting, which allows us to solve various other problems (such as finding the maximum volume ellipsoid inscribed into the intersection of n halfspaces) in linear time.
