Preprint at https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.00671 (Pages 68-75 build up the full details of the bound, which looks something like Õ(mκ⁻²α⁻²ϵ⁻¹). There are enough details over the preceding dozens of pages that I can&amp;#x27;t tell at a glance exactly what all the variables stand for.) Technically this captures any logarithmic factors, such as exp(O(log^(7/8) m log log m)) as presented on page 75).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2203.00671/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.

There are problems that do not admit a polynomial reduction to SAT, but by Cook-Levin they’re not in NP. It is of course possible to construct a problem that will require strictly more steps than the most efficient algorithm for SAT; for example, we could give a language SAT-PRIME = {&amp;lt;φ,n&amp;gt;: φ is satisfiable and n is prime&amp;gt;, which will take longer to decide than SAT. (Primality can be checked by the Agrawal–Kayal–Saxena test in polynomial time.) But note that SAT-PRIME is polynomially reducible to SAT, so on the notion of hardness as given by…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2203.00671/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.

Our algorithm builds the flow through a sequence of m^(1+o(1)) approximate undirected minimum-ratio cycles, each of which is computed and processed in amortized m^o(1) time using a new dynamic graph data structure. ^ Our framework extends to algorithms running in m^(1+o(1)) time for computing flows that minimize general edge-separable convex…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2203.00671/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
