Theorem 22; abstract; §1.2; Acknowledgments and Methodology

For every fixed ν, all-pairs shortest paths on directed n-vertex graphs with integer edge weights of absolute value at most n^ν and no negative cycles can be computed deterministically in O(n^{2.9995}) time.

Passage 2 · OpenMath paraphrasePermalink

Theorem 22 using Corollary 26; §1, numeric bounds; Acknowledgments and Methodology

For every fixed ν, 3SUM on n integers with absolute value at most n^ν has a deterministic O(n^{1.9992})-time algorithm in the paper’s integer-operation model.

Source assessment

Proved

Established implication or scoped theorem in cited mathematics

A fine-grained improvement for a problem already solvable in polynomial time; no SAT speedup or P versus NP resolution is claimed.
