The existence of a pivot rule for the simplex method that guarantees a strongly polynomial run-time is a longstanding, fundamental open problem in the theory of linear programming. The leading pivot rule in theory is the shadow pivot rule, which solves a linear program by projecting the feasible region onto a polygon. It has been shown to perform in expected strongly polynomial time on uniformly random instances and in smoothed analysis. In practice, the pivot rule of choice is the steepest edge rule, which normalizes the set of improving neighbors and then chooses a maximally improving normalized neighbor. Exponential lower bounds are known for both rules in worst-case analysis. However, for the shadow simplex method, all exponential examples were only proven for one choice of projection, and for the steepest edge rule, the lower bounds were only proven for the Euclidean norm. In this work, we construct linear programs for which any choice of projection for shadow rule variants will lead to an exponential run-time and exponential examples for any choice of norm for a steepest edge variant.
