- Standard form
LP must be converted into an equivalent problem in which all constraints are equations and all variables are nonnegative. - Slack variable and excess variable
To transform <= and >= constraints into equations. - Basic and nonbasic variable
A basic solution to AX=b is obtained by setting n-m variables (NBV) equal to 0. The other m variables are BV. LP basic feasible solution (bfs) corresponds to LP extreme point. - Simplex Algorithm
- The big M method
When a bfs is not readily apparent, we can add artificial variables to the problem. Also adding M·a into objective function to make sure the artificial variable to be 0 in the solution.
(Two-phase Simplex method is to solve the same problem.)
