Introduction to Linear
Programming and the
Simplex Method
Linear Programming (LP) uses linear equations. It optimizes an
objective function. Common in resource allocation and scheduling.
The Simplex Method is a core algorithm. It iteratively improves
solutions until optimal. It moves along vertices of feasible region.
The Two-Phase Simplex Method: Addressing
Infeasibility
• Initial LP problems may be infeasible.
• The Two-Phase Simplex handles this.
• Phase 1: Converts to a feasible problem. Introduces artificial variables.
• Phase 2: Solves original problem from Phase 1's solution.
• Ensures a starting feasible solution.
Detailed Steps and Example of the Two-Phase
Simplex Method
1. Convert the LP problem to standard form.
2. Add artificial variables where needed.
3. Solve Phase 1 to minimize artificial variables.
4. Remove artificial variables.
5. Solve Phase 2 to find the optimal solution.
Introduction to the
Revised Simplex Method
The Revised Simplex Method is an improved approach. It's based
on matrix operations. It focuses on the essential data. It stores and
updates only necessary values. Reduces computational effort
significantly. It uses inverse of basis matrix.
Advantages of the Revised Simplex Method:
Efficiency and Memory
• Increased efficiency for large problems.
• Reduced memory requirements.
• Faster iterations through matrix updates.
• Improved numerical stability.
• Suitable for sparse matrices.
