“…The Hirsch conjecture, closely related to this open question, has received a lot of attention due to Santos' recent counter-example [24]. On the subject for more information see the papers [3,7,18,19] and the comments [5,10,15,25,29].…”
It is well known how to clarify whether there is a polynomial time simplex algorithm for linear programming (LP) is the most challenging open problem in optimization and discrete geometry. Under the assumption of regularization, this paper gives a affirmative answer to this open question by the use of the parametric analysis technique. We show that there is a simplex method whose number of pivoting steps does not exceed the number of variables of a LP problem.
