Culturally, computer scientists are generally trained in discrete mathematics; but continuous methods can give us surprising insights into many algorithms and combinatorial problems. In this pedagogical talk, I will describe two interesting places where continuous mathematics makes an entrance into computer science: proving lower bounds on the 3-colorability threshold in random graphs using differential equations, and a continuous-time version of Karmarkar’s algorithm for Linear Programming, based on the so-called Newton Barrier Flow.
