THE RANDOM EDGE SIMPLEX ALGORITHM ON DUAL CYCLIC 4-POLYTOPES
, 2006
"... The simplex algorithm using the random edge pivot-rule on any realization of a dual cyclic 4-polytope with n facets does not take more than O(n) pivot-steps. This even holds for general abstract objective functions (AOF) / acyclic unique sink orientations (AUSO). The methods can be used to show a ..."

The Quickhull algorithm for convex hulls
- ACM TRANSACTIONS ON MATHEMATICAL SOFTWARE
, 1996
"... The convex hull of a set of points is the smallest convex set that contains the points. This article presents a practical convex hull algorithm that combines the two-dimensional Quickhull Algorithm with the general-dimension Beneath-Beyond Algorithm. It is similar to the randomized, incremental algo ..."

A Discourse on the Pivot Rules RANDOM EDGE and RANDOM FACET
, 2000
"... This technical report is a summary of most of the topics I was working on during my first year at the ETH. Hopefully, I hope to expand on some of them during my dissertation. It is, therefore, to be regarded as work in progress. The largest section is about finding new nontrivial bounds for Random E ..."

Edge. It opens, however, with a few facts we observed when looking at orientations on the hypercube and their impact on the behaviour of randomized pivot rules. The final section is dedicated to some ideas connected to Balinski's Theorem and other path properties on oriented polytopes. 3 Chapter
Random Walks in Peer-to-Peer Networks
, 2004
"... We quantify the effectiveness of random walks for searching and construction of unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. For searching, we argue that random walks achieve improvement over flooding in the case of clustered overlay topologies and in the case of re-issuing the same request several tim ..."

A Subexponential Bound for Linear Programming
- ALGORITHMICA
, 1996
"... We present a simple randomized algorithm which solves linear programs with n constraints and d variables in expected min{O(d 2 2 d n),e 2 d ln(n / d)+O ( d+ln n)} time in the unit cost model (where we count the number of arithmetic operations on the numbers in the input); to be precise, the algorith ..."

PIVOTING RULES FOR THE REVISED SIMPLEX ALGORITHM
, 2014
"... Abstract. Pricing is a significant step in the simplex algorithm where an improving non-basic variable is selected in order to enter the basis. This step is crucial and can dictate the total execution time. In this paper, we perform a computational study in which the pricing operation is computed wi ..."

with eight different pivoting rules: (i) Bland’s Rule, (ii) Dantzig’s Rule, (iii) Greatest Increment Method, (iv) Least Recently Considered Method, (v) Partial Pricing Rule, (vi) Queue Rule, (vii) Stack Rule, and (viii) Steepest Edge Rule; and incorporate them with the revised simplex algorithm. All pivoting
NOTES ON BLAND'S PIVOTING RULE
, 1978
"... Recently R.G. Bland proposed two new rules for pivot selection in the simplex method. These elegant rules arise from Bland's work on oriented matroids; their virtue is that they never lead to cycling. We investigate the efficiency of the first of them. On randomly generated problems with 50 non ..."
