abstract

We consider the problem of minimizing a convex function over a convex set given access only to an evaluation oracle for the function and a membership oracle for the set. We give a simple algorithm which solves this problem with $\tilde{O}(n^2)$ oracle calls and $\tilde{O}(n^3)$ additional arithmetic operations. Using this result, we obtain more efficient reductions among the five basic oracles for convex sets and functions defined by Gr\"otschel, Lovasz and Schrijver.

  1. Quantum algorithm for estimating volumes of convex bodies

    quant-ph 2019-08 accept novelty 8.0 of 10

    A quantum algorithm estimates the volume of an n-dimensional convex body within error epsilon using O-tilde(n^3 + n^2.5/epsilon) membership queries, the first quantum speedup for this task.
