Steepest Edge as Applied to the Standard Simplex Method
In this paper we discuss results and advantages of using steepest edge column choice rules and their derivatives. We show empirically, when we utilize the steepest edge column choice rule for the tableau method, that the density crossover point at which the tableau method is more efficient than the revised method drops to 5%. This is much lower than the 72% we have seen when the tableau method ...
متن کاملWhat is the Worst Case Behavior of the Simplex Algorithm?
The examples published by Klee and Minty in 1972 do not preclude the existence of a pivot rule which will make the simplex method, at worst, polynomial. In fact, the continuing success of Dantzig's method suggests that such a rule does exist. A study of known examples shows that (a) those which use selective pivot rules require exponentially large coe cients, and (b) none of the examples' pivot...
متن کاملIn defense of the Simplex Algorithm's worst-case behavior
In the early 1970s, by work of Klee and Minty (1972) and Zadeh (1973), the Simplex Method, the Network Simplex Method, and the Successive Shortest Path Algorithm have been proved guilty of exponential worst-case behavior (for certain pivot rules). Since then, the common perception is that these algorithms can be fooled into investing senseless effort by ‘bad instances’ such as, e. g., Klee-Mint...
متن کاملWorst-case Analysis of Strategy Iteration and the Simplex Method
In this dissertation we study strategy iteration (also known as policy iteration) algorithms for solving Markov decision processes (MDPs) and twoplayer turn-based stochastic games (2TBSGs). MDPs provide a mathematical model for sequential decision making under uncertainty. They are widely used to model stochastic optimization problems in various areas ranging from operations research, machine l...
متن کاملThe Worst Case Behavior of Randomized Gossip
This paper considers the quasi-random rumor spreading model introduced by Doerr, Friedrich, and Sauerwald in [SODA 2008], hereafter referred to as the list-based model. Each node is provided with a cyclic list of all its neighbors, chooses a random position in its list, and from then on calls its neighbors in the order of the list. This model is known to perform asymptotically at least as well ...
