  "textContent": "It hath begun ! The **first TCS+ talk of 2026** will take place next week, Wednesday, March 4th at 1:00 PM Eastern Time (10:00 AM Pacific Time, 19:00 Central European Time, 18:00 UTC). **Sophie Huiberts** from CNRS will speak about “ _Analyzing the Simplex Method by the Book_ ” (abstract below).\n\nYou can reserve a spot as an individual or a group to join us live by signing up on the online form. Registration is _not_ required to attend the interactive talk, and the link will be posted on the website the day prior to the talk; however, by registering in the form, you will receive a reminder, along with the link. (The recorded talk will also be posted on our website afterwards) As usual, for more information about the TCS+ online seminar series and the upcoming talks, or to suggest a possible topic or speaker, please see the website.\n\n> Abstract: The simplex method is an algorithm for linear programming, and this algorithm is much faster than theory is able to explain. In this talk I will describe a new theoretical framework we introduced to address this question. Under this framework we prove strong running time guarantees, using new mathematical assumptions taken from LP software user manuals. I will discuss which features of real-world software and LP’s we have managed to theoretically capture for this purpose, and what will come next.\n\nBy plustcs",
