10. Transforming LP to Std Form LP 1.If Max, then f(x) = - F(x) 2.If x is unrestricted, split into x + and x -, and substitute into f(x) and all g i (x) and r enumber all x i 3.If b i < 0, then multiply constraint by (-1) 4.If constraint is ≤, then add slack s i 5.If constraint is ≥, then subtract surplus s i 10

11. Std Form LP Problem 11 Matrix form All “ ≥0 ” i.e. non-neg. All “=“

12. Canonical form Ex 8.4 & TABLEAU 12 basis all +1

13. Simplex Method – Part 1 of 2 Single Phase Simplex Method When the Standard form LP Problem has only ≤ inequalties…. i.e. only slack variables, we can solve using the Single-Phase Simplex Method! (i.e. canonical form!) If surplus variables exist… we need the Two-Phase Simplex Method –with artificial variables… Sec 8.6-7 (after Spring Break) 13

14. Single-Phase Simplex Method 1. Set up LP prob in a SIMPLEX tableau add row for reduced cost, c j ’ and column for min-ratio, b/a label the rows (using letters) of each tableau 2. Check if optimum, all non-basic c’ ≥0? 3. Select variable to enter basis(from non-basic) Largest negative reduced cost coefficient/ pivot column 4. Select variable to leave basis Use min ratio column / pivot row 5. Use Gauss-Jordan elimination on rows to form new basis, i.e. identity columns 6.Repeat steps 2-5 until opt solution is found! 14

15. Special cases? Multiple solutions Unbounded problems Degenerate solutions 15

16. Multiple Solutions 16 Non-basic c i ’=0 Non-unique global solutions, ∆f = 0

17. Unbounded problem 17 Pivot column coefficients a ij < 0

18. Degenerate solution 18 Want to bring in x3 for x4… but the min ratio rule says no amount of x3!... Therefore no change in f either. Simplex method will move to a solution, slowly Sometimes it will “cycle” forever.

19. More Terms Degererate basic solution - one or more basic variables has a zero value in a basic solution (i.e. b=0) Degererate basic feasible solution - one or more basic variables has a zero value in a basic feasible solution (i.e. b=0) Optimum basic solution – basic feasible solution with minimum f. 19
