We investigate the following greedy approach to attack linear programs of typewhereAhas entries in: The greedy algorithm starts with a feasible solutionxand, iteratively, chooses an improving variable and raises it until some constraint becomes tight. In the special case, whereAis the edge-path incidence matrix of some digraph, and, this greedy algorithm corresponds to the Ford–Fulkerson algorithm to solve themax (s,t)-flow probleminGw.r.t. edge-capacitiesu. It is well-known that the Ford–Fulkerson algorithm always terminates with an optimal flow, and that the number of augmentations strongly depends on the choice of paths in each iteration. The Edmonds–Karp rule that prefers paths with fewer arcs leads to a running time of at mostaugmentations. The paper investigates general types of matricesAand preference rules on the variables that make the greedy algorithm efficient. In this paper, we identify conditions that guarantee for the greedy algorithm not to cycle, and/or optimality of the greedy algorithm, and/or to yield a quadratic (in the number of rows) number of augmentations. We illustrate our approach with flow and circulation problems on regular oriented matroids.
