TCS+ talk *this week*: Wednesday, March 4, Sophie Huiberts, CNRS
Clement Canonne
This is a reminder that our first TCS+ talk of 2026 is taking place this week, Wednesday, March 4th at 1:00 PM Eastern Time (10:00 AM Pacific Time, 19:00 Central European Time, 18:00 UTC). The speakers' slides will be made available at https://sites.google.com/view/tcsplus/welcome/past-talks after the talk.
If you’d like to join the Zoom talk, please sign up using the form at https://sites.google.com/view/tcsplus/welcome/next-tcs-talk. The talk will also be recorded and posted shortly afterwards on our YouTube channel, here: http://www.youtube.com/user/TCSplusSeminars.
Hoping to see you all there,
The organizers

Speaker: Sophie Huiberts (CNRS)
Title: Analyzing the Simplex Method by the Book
Abstract: The simplex method is an algorithm for linear programming, and this algorithm is much faster than theory is able to explain. In this talk I will describe a new theoretical framework we introduced to address this question. Under this framework we prove strong running time guarantees, using new mathematical assumptions taken from LP software user manuals. I will discuss which features of real-world software and LP's we have managed to theoretically capture for this purpose, and what will come next.
