Cunningham's Rule constructions because they tend to average out how many times a variable pivots. It has recently been shown by David Avis and Oliver Friedmann that there is a family of linear programs on which the simplex algorithm equipped with Cunningham's rule requires exponential time. Cunningham's Rule In mathematical optimization, Cunningham's rule (also known as least recently considered rule or round-robin rule) is an algorithmic refinement of the simplex method for linear optimization. The rule was proposed 1979 by W.H. Cunningham to defeat the deformed hypercube constructions by Klee and Minty et. al. (see, e.g. Klee–Minty cube). Cunningham's rule assigns a
Holman Rule the Army Corps of Engineers. The Holman Rule was extended to the end of the 115th Congress in March 2018. In April 2018, the Republican Study Committee budget plan supported use of the rule to remove positions considered unneeded. In June 2018, Paul Gosar proposed using the rule to cut the Western Area Power Administration Administrator Mark Gabriel's salary to $1 for alleged misconduct. This amendment failed by a vote of 139–276 on June 7, 2018. Holman Rule The Holman Rule is a rule in the United States House of Representatives that allows amendments to appropriations legislation that would reduce
