Title
The minimum euclidean-norm point in a convex polytope: Wolfe's combinatorial algorithm is exponential.
Abstract
The complexity of Philip Wolfe’s method for the minimum Euclidean-norm point problem over a convex polytope has remained unknown since he proposed the method in 1974. We present the first example that Wolfe’s method takes exponential time. Additionally, we improve previous results to show that linear programming reduces in strongly-polynomial time to the minimum norm point problem over a simplex
