%0 Journal Article %T Tropicalizing the simplex algorithm %A Xavier Allamigeon %A Pascal Benchimol %A St¨¦phane Gaubert %A Michael Joswig %J Mathematics %D 2013 %I arXiv %R 10.1137/130936464 %X We develop a tropical analog of the simplex algorithm for linear programming. In particular, we obtain a combinatorial algorithm to perform one tropical pivoting step, including the computation of reduced costs, in O(n(m+n)) time, where m is the number of constraints and n is the dimension. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1308.0454v2
