چکیده

In Friedmann, Hansen, and Zwick (2011) we claimed that the expected number of pivoting steps performed by the Random-Facet algorithm of Kalai and of Matoušek, Sharir, and Welzl is equal to the expected number of pivoting steps performed by Random-Facet∗, a variant of Random-Facet that bases its random decisions on one random permutation. We then obtained a lower bound on the expected number of pivoting steps performed by Random-Facet∗ and claimed that the same lower bound holds also for Random-Facet. Unfortunately, the claim that the expected numbers of steps performed by Random-Facet and Random-Facet∗ are the same is false. We provide here simple examples that show that the expected numbers of steps performed by the two algorithms are not the same.

Subexponential lower bounds for randomized pivoting rules for solving linear programs

The simplex algorithm is among the most widely used algorithms for solving linear programs in practice. Most deterministic pivoting rules are known, however, to need an exponential number of steps to solve some linear programs. No non-polynomial lower bounds were known, prior to this work, for randomized pivoting rules. We provide the first subexponential (i.e., of the form 2 α), for some α > 0...

A subexponential lower bound for the Least Recently Considered rule for solving linear programs and games

The simplex algorithm is among the most widely used algorithms for solving linear programs in practice. Most pivoting rules are known, however, to need an exponential number of steps to solve some linear programs. No non-polynomial lower bounds were known, prior to this work, for Cunningham’s Least Recently Considered rule [5], which belongs to the family of history-based rules. Also known as t...

A Subexponential Lower Bound for Zadeh's Pivoting Rule for Solving Linear Programs and Games

The simplex algorithm is among the most widely used algorithms for solving linear programs in practice. Most pivoting rules are known, however, to need an exponential number of steps to solve some linear programs. No non-polynomial lower bounds were known, prior to this work, for Zadeh’s pivoting rule [Zad80]. Also known as the Least-Entered rule, Zadeh’s pivoting method belongs to the family o...

A Subexponential Lower Bound for Policy Iteration based on Snare Memorization

This paper presents a subexponential lower bound for the recently proposed snare memorization non-oblivious strategy iteration algorithm due to Fearnley. Snare memorization is a method to train policy iteration techniques to remember certain profitable substrategies and reapply them again. We show that there is not much hope to find a polynomial-time algorithm for solving parity games by applyi...

Random-Facet and Random-Bland require subexponential time even for shortest paths

The Random-Facet algorithm of Kalai and of Matoušek, Sharir and Welzl is an elegant randomized algorithm for solving linear programs and more general LP-type problems. Its expected subexponential time of 2 √ , where m is the number of inequalities, makes it the fastest known combinatorial algorithm for solving linear programs. We previously showed that Random-Facet performs an expected number o...
