Abstract/Media

We will survey recent results on applications of tropical geometry to linear programming.  This includes studying the relationship of the simplex method with mean-payoff games, constructing linear programs with an unusually large curvature of the central path and showing that many interior point algorithms are not strongly polynomial.  Joint work with Xavier Allamigeon, Pascal Benchimol and St\'ephane Gaubert.
