-\paragraph{time for $\lambda^*$} $L(\lambda)-b\lambda$ is pwl concave. The number of segments is at most $3^m$. We need almost linear time to find the solution to a fixed $\lambda$. So parametric seach gives complexity $m^{1+o(1)} O(\log 3^m)$.
+To compute $\lambda^*$ we need to use parametric search.
-\note{need to check this}
+\begin{lemma}[\cite{salowe_parametric}]
+Let $S(n)$ be the complexity of solving the Lagrangian dual problem for fixed $\lambda$ (where $n$ is the size of the input), then one can compute $\lambda^*$ using parametric search in $O(S(n)^2)$ time.
+\end{lemma}
+It follows directly from the preceding lemma that $\lambda^*$ can be computed in $\tilde O(m^2)$ time.
 
-\paragraph{time for the rest parts} Reweighting takes linear time.
+Reweighting the graph takes linear time.
-Finding $<2$-approx mincut takes $\tilde O(n^3)$. FPTAS for knapsack takes $O(\frac{1}{\e}m^2)$. The total complexity is $O(\frac{1}{\e}m^2n^3)$.
+Finding $<2$-approx mincut takes $\tilde O(n^3)$. 
+An $1+\e$ approximate solution to knapsack can be found in time $\tilde O(m+\frac{1}{\e^2})$ \cite{10.1145/3618260.3649730}.

Prior to our work, the best running time is O(n + (1/)11/5) [Deng, Jin, and Mao’23]. Our algorithm is the best possible (up to a polylogarithmic factor), as Knapsack has no O((n + 1/)2−δ)-time FPTAS for any constant δ > 0, conditioned on the conjecture that (min, +)-convolution has no truly subquadratic-time algorithm.},
