Oct 6, 2011 at 20:31 comment added Jay Lemmon I'm not asking to find the bug, I'm asking how you're supposed to handle a specific edge case (the case where you perform $n$ "major cycles" and $\beta = \nullset$) of this algorithm. The algorithm as written in the book doesn't handle it. The proof of termination doesn't seem to either, at least not directly. I don't have an instructor; I'm not in university. Non-students do read textbooks, on occasion.

Oct 6, 2011 at 19:47 comment added Jay Lemmon From the FAQ: "MathOverflow's primary goal is for users to ask and answer research level math questions, the sorts of questions you come across when you're writing or reading articles or graduate level books." The book sure seems graduate level to me.
