Dear all:

Is there a source (book/script/...) which gives a complete and fully
formal proof that the simplex algorithm (in its max-form) with Dantzig's
rule requires 2^n different tableaux on the following Klee-Minty-kind
example:

maximize $\sum_{i=1}^n 2^{n-i}x_i$
subject to for all $i\in\{1,...,n\}$:
$\sum_{j=1}^{i-1} 2^{i-j+1}x_j + x_i \le 5^i$

?

All sources I found just treat other examples and/or leave the key proof
details to the reader.

One way would be to create a very explicit mapping from an index k to
the k-th tableau (k=1,...,2^n) in the execution of Dantzig's algorithm
on the above example.

Best,

Axel.
