Faster Linear Programming with $\sqrt{\mathrm{rank}}$ Linear System Solves
Lee and Sidford [LS19] showed that the linear program $\min\{c^\top x\ :\ A^\top x=b,\ l\leq x\leq u\}$ over $x\in\mathbb{R}^m$, where $A\in\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$, can be solved to accuracy $\epsilon$ using $O(\sqrt n\log^{13}m\cdot\log(mU/\epsilon))$ solves of linear systems in $A^\top\mathbf DA$ for positive diagona...
