We study the Schur-Siegel-Smyth trace problem. We introduce a new linear programming problem that inclues Smyths' constraints, and we give an exact solution to it. This improves the best known lower bound on the Siegel trace problem which is based on Smyths' method. In a special case, we recover Siegel's original upper bound. Our method unifies Siegel's and Smyth's work under the same framework. This is joint work with Bryce Orloski.
