 \subsubsection*{Choice of the leaving variable}
 The stability and robustness of the algorithm depend considerably on the choice of the leaving variable. With respect to this, the \textit{expand} method~\cite{GILL1989} proves to be very useful in the sense that it helps to avoid cycles and reduces the risks of encountering numerical instabilities. This method consists of two steps of complexity $\mathcal{O}(m)$. In the first step, a small perturbation is applied to the bounds of the variables to prevent stalling of the objective value, thus avoiding cycles. These perturbed bounds are then used to determine the greatest gain on the entering variable imposed by the most constraining basic variable. The second phase uses the original bounds to define the basic variable offering the gain closest to the one of the first phase. This variable will then be selected for leaving the basis.

 The cutting-planes generated must be carefully selected in order to avoid a huge increase in the problem size. They are selected according to three criteria: their efficiency, their orthogonality with respect to other cutting-planes, and their parallelism with respect to the objective function. 
 Cutting-planes having the most impact on the problem are then selected, while the others are dropped.

 Finally, the biggest problems, and slowest to solve, are given in Table~\ref{chXXX:tab:big}. A new tendency can be observed in Figure~\ref{chXXX:fig:SlowSolve}. The \textit{Revised-sparse} method is the fastest on most of the problems. The performances are still close between the best two methods on problems having a C-to-R ratio close to 2 such as bnl2.mps, pilot.mps, or greenbeb.mps. However, when this ratio is greater, the \textit{Revised-sparse} can be nearly twice as fast as the standard method. This is noticeable on 80bau3b.mps (4.5) and fit2p.mps (4.3). Although the C-to-R ratio of d6cube.mps (14.9) exceeds the ones previously mentioned, the \textit{Revised-sparse} method doesn't show an impressive performance, probably due to the small amount of rows and the density of this problem, which doesn't fully benefit from the lower complexity of sparse operations.
