An Improved Upper Bound for Random Facet

In this talk, I present a (slightly) improved upper bound for the runtime of Random Facet, an algorithm for finding the sink in a Unique Sink Orientation (USO). I revisit the previous best upper bound, and show attempts to improve it. I present our new upper bound, and explore some fundamental issues that are preventing us from finding substantially better bounds. This is (unpublished) joint work with Bernd Gärtner.
