The purpose of this article is to encourage students and teachers to use a simple technique for finding feasible solution of an LP. This technique is very simple but unfortunately not much practiced in the textbook literature yet. This article discusses an overview, advantages, computational experience of the method. This method provides some pronounced benefits over Dantzig’s simplex method phase 1. For instance, it does not require any kind of artificial variables or artificial constraints; it could directly start with any infeasible basis of an LP. Throughout the procedure it works in original variables space hence revealing the true underlying geometry of the problem. Last but not the least; it is a handy tool for students to quickly solve a linear programming problem without indulging with artificial variables. It is also beneficial for the teachers who want to teach feasibility achievement as a separate topic before teaching optimality achievement. Our primary result shows that this method is much better than simplex phase 1 for practical Net-lib problems as well as for general random LPs.

The neutrosophic primal simplex algorithm starts from a neutrosophic basic feasible solution. If there is no such a solution, we cannot apply the neutrosophic primal simplex method for solving the neutrosophic linear programming problem. In this chapter, the authors propose a neutrosophic two-phase method involving neutrosophic artificial variables to obtain an initial neutrosophic basic feasible solution to a slightly modified set of constraints. Then the neutrosophic primal simplex method is used to eliminate the neutrosophic artificial variables and to solve the original problem.

Explicit Consideration

Linear Programming problem (LPP)s with upper bounded variables can be solved using the Bounded Simplex method (BSM),without the explicit consideration of the upper bounded constraints. The upper bounded constraints are considered implicitly in this method which reduced the size of the basis matrix significantly. In this paper, we have developed MATHEMATICA codes for solving such problems. A complete algorithm of the program with the help of a numerical example has been provided. Finally a comparison with the built-in code has been made for showing the efficiency of the developed code.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/dujs.v60i2.11487 Dhaka Univ. J.

Definition Of

Simplex method is one of the most useful methods to solve linear program. However, before using the simplex method, it is required to have a base feasible solution of linear program and the linear program is changed to thetypical form. Although there are some methods to gain the base feasible solution of linear program, artificial variablesare added and the times of calculating are increased with these calculations. In this paper, an extended algorithm of the simplex algorithm is established, the definition of feasible solution in the new algorithm is expended, the test number is not the same sign in the process of finding problem solution. Explained the principle of the new algorithm and showed results of LP problems calculated by the new algorithm.

In this paper, a method using the concept of l1-norm is proposed to find all the efficient solutions of a 0-1 Multi-Objective Linear Programming (MOLP) problem. These solutions are specified without generating all feasible solutions. Corresponding to a feasible solution of a 0-1 MOLP problem, a vector is constructed, the components of which are the values of objective functions. The method consists of a one-stage algorithm. In each iteration of this algorithm a 0-1 single objective linear programming problem is solved. We have proved that optimal solutions of this 0-1 single objective linear programming problem are efficient solutions of the 0-1 MOLP problem. Corresponding to efficient solutions which are obtained in an iteration, some constraints are added to the 0-1 single objective linear programming problem of the next iteration. Using a theorem we guarantee that the proposed algorithm generates all the efficient solutions of the 0-1 MOLP problem. Numerical results are presented for an example taken from the literature to illustrate the proposed algorithm.

Initial Starting

An enthusiastic artificial-free linear programming method based on a sequence of jumps and the simplex method is proposed in this paper. It performs in three phases. Starting with phase 1, it guarantees the existence of a feasible point by relaxing all non-acute constraints. With this initial starting feasible point, in phase 2, it sequentially jumps to the improved objective feasible points. The last phase reinstates the rest of the non-acute constraints and uses the dual simplex method to find the optimal point. The computation results show that this method is more efficient than the standard simplex method and the artificial-free simplex algorithm based on the non-acute constraint relaxation for 41 netlib problems and 280 simulated linear programs.

Transportation Problem is a linear programming problem. Like LPP, transportation problem has basic feasible solution (BFS) and then from it we obtain the optimal solution. Among these BFS the optimal solution is developed by constructing dual of the TP. By using complimentary slackness conditions the optimal solutions is obtained by the same iterative principle. The method is known as MODI (Modified Distribution) method. In this paper we have discussed all the aspect of transportation problem.

Neutrosophic Number

In this chapter, the concept of single valued neutrosophic number (SVN-Number) is presented in a generalized way. Using this notion, a crisp linear programming problem (LP-problem) is extended to a neutrosophic linear programming problem (NLP-problem). The coefficients of the objective function of a crisp LP-problem are considered as generalized single valued neutrosophic number (GSVN-Number). This modified form of LP-problem is here called an NLP-problem. An algorithm is developed to solve NLP-problem by simplex method. Finally, this simplex algorithm is applied to a real-life problem. The problem is illustrated and solved numerically.
