Researchers have made progress on the mixing time of Dikin walks on polytopes, a method inspired by interior-point methods for convex optimization. A new paper improves the previous $d^{2.5}$-mixing bound to $d^{2.25}$ for exponential sampling from a polytope. This advancement relies on a higher-order analysis of the Lee--Sidford metric and utilizes techniques such as selective higher-order expansions and Wiener-chaos decompositions. AI
