Syllabus
  • Linear programming represents one of the basic optimization methods with a wide range of applications. The technique of linear programming, namely the so-called simplex method, is one of the mathematical algorithms most widely exploited on computers. The theoretical foundations of linear programming consist in the study of systems of linear inequalities. The main topics of the lecture follow.
  • The theory of linear inequalities -- the Farkas' lemma.
  • The Duality theorem of linear programming.
  • Convex cones and polyhedra.
  • Faces of polyhedra.
  • The geometric description of the simplex method.
  • The simplex method in tableau form.
  • The revised simplex method.
  • The dual simplex method.
  • The transportation problem and its solution by an adaptation of the simplex method.
