Optimization Methods

The document summarizes and compares four different optimization methods: the simplex method, big M method, dual simplex method, and two phase method. Each method has different requirements for the objective function type, how variables are added to constraints, optimality test requirements, how θ and key column/row values are calculated. The methods can be used to solve problems with objectives of maximization or minimization and constraints that are less than or equal to or greater than or equal to.
