Solving Linear Programs2In this chapter, we present a systematic procedure for Solving Linear Programs . This procedure, called thesimplex method,proceeds by moving from one feasible solution to another, at each step improving the valueof the objective function. Moreover, the method terminates after a finite number of such characteristics of the simplex method have led to its widespread acceptance as a computational , the method is robust. It solvesanylinear program; it detects redundant constraints in the problemformulation; it identifies instances when the objective value is unbounded over the feasible region; and itsolves problems with one or more optimal solutions. The method is also self-initiating. It uses itself eitherto generate an appropriate feasible solution, as required, to start the method, or to show that the problem hasno feasible solution.
