Foreword
The first monograph on -Degeneracy Problems· appeared 1986 as -Degeneracy Graphs and the Neighbourhood Problem- by H.-J. Kruse as No 260 of Lecture Notes. The contents of that book was based upon a simple problem of degeneracy in linearly constraint optimization problems which has been posed in 1976. Since then the literature concerning degeneracy grew and a part of the corresponding research throughout the world has been devoted to the theory and application of degeneracy graphs. It turned out that the better should be the use of degeneracy graphs to solve practical problems of various kind the more theoreti~ knowledge about such graphs is needed. Just to mention one of such problems, let us remind of the cycling of the simplex method. This phenomenon is known since the beginning of the SO-ies and caused some trouble. Several "anticycling" methods have been elaborated as the time passed and even in the late SO-ies new proposals have been published. Strange enough, there has been no publication in which a trial was made to explain this phenomenon, i.e. to pose the question "When or under which conditions simplex-cycling occurs?-. The author of this book makes a valuable contribution to the theory of the degeneracy graphs and answers the above question. Based on his results the research into degeneracy and degeneracy graphs can now turn to new unsolved degeneracy problems, which would remain unsolvable without the knowledge presented in this book.
