TLDR
It is proved that given a polytopeP and a strictly interior point a εP, there is a projective transformation of the space that mapsP, a toP′, a′ having the following property: the ratio of the radius of the smallest sphere with center a′, containingP′ to theradius of the largest sphere withCenter a′ contained inP′ isO(n).Abstract:
We present a new polynomial-time algorithm for linear programming. In the worst case, the algorithm requiresO(n

L) arithmetic operations onO(L) bit numbers, wheren is the number of variables andL is the number of bits in the input. The running-time of this algorithm is better than the ellipsoid algorithm by a factor ofO(n
2.5). We prove that given a polytopeP and a strictly interior point a eP, there is a projective transformation of the space that mapsP, a toP′, a′ having the following property. The ratio of the radius of the smallest sphere with center a′, containingP′ to the radius of the largest sphere with center a′ contained inP′ isO(n). The algorithm consists of repeated application of such projective transformations each followed by optimization over an inscribed sphere to create a sequence of points which converges to the optimal solution in polynomial time.read more

Convex Optimization
Stephen Boyd,Lieven Vandenberghe +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the focus is on recognizing convex optimization problems and then finding the most appropriate technique for solving them, and a comprehensive introduction to the subject is given. But the focus of this book is not on the optimization problem itself, but on the problem of finding the appropriate technique to solve it.

Atomic Decomposition by Basis Pursuit
TL;DR: Basis Pursuit (BP) is a principle for decomposing a signal into an "optimal" superposition of dictionary elements, where optimal means having the smallest l1 norm of coefficients among all such decompositions.
