Smoothing the Gap Between NP and ER
Offered By: IEEE via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore a 23-minute IEEE conference talk that delves into smoothing techniques to bridge the gap between NP and ER problems. Join Jeff Erickson, Ivor van der Hoog, and Tillmann Miltzow as they present their research on applying smooth analysis to computational geometry problems. Learn about the standard model, the rationale behind smooth analysis, and its effectiveness in tackling complex computational challenges. Discover key results and their implications for ER-complete problems and recognition problems, with a practical example to illustrate the concepts discussed.
