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
Phonological rule (in "buses"); these forms are all theorized to be stored mentally as the same "-s", but the surface pronunciations are derived through a phonological rule. In most dialects of American English, speakers have a process known as intervocalic alveolar flapping that changes the consonants /t/ and /d/ into a quick flap consonant ([ɾ] in words such as "butter" () and "notable" (). The stop consonants /t/ and /d/ only become a flap in between two vowels, where the first vowel is stressed and the second is stressless. It is common to represent phonological rules using formal rewrite rules in the
