\section{Simplex Algorithm (Continued)}
\subsection*{11.1.1 Assumptions}So far we have made the following assumptions:
\begin{enumerate}
\item The LP is in the standard form i.e.\\
\begin{eqnarray*}
\min c^T x \\
\mbox{s.t}\ Ax=b,
\newline
\\x\geq 0
\end{eqnarray*}
\\
where $C,x\in{\mathbb R^{n}}$, $A \in {\mathbb R^{m\times n}} $ , $b \in{\mathbb R^{m}}$ and $rank(A)= m$
\item Every Basic Feasible Solution i.e. BFS is non-degenerate
\item BFS is in the form
\begin{equation}
[I \mid Y] \left[ \begin{matrix}
x
\end{matrix}\right] = y_0
\label{eq1}
\end{equation}
where I is $m \times m$ Identity Matrix,
$ x = \left[ \begin{array}{cc}
x_{B} \\
x_{NB} \end{array} \right]$,~~$x_B \in R^n $ and $x_{NB} \in R^{n-m}$
\end{enumerate}
\section{Basic Steps of Algorithm}
\begin{itemize}
\item Generic step of the algorithm is to swap a basic variable with a non basic variable. For now assume
that we have selected basic variable $x_p$ and non-basic variable $x_q$ to swap
\item $x_p$ can be swapped with $x_q$ if and only if $Y_{pq} \ne 0$ because if $Y_{pq}$ is equal to 0 then column vector $Y_q$
can be represented as linear combination of m − 1 basis vectors i.e.
\[ Y_q=\sum_{i=1~i \neq p}^m y_{iq} \ast I_i\]
and hence $Y_q$ cannot be included in basic solution
\item Now make $q^{th}$ column as $ \left[ \begin{array}{ccccccc}
0 & ... & 0 & 1_p & 0 & ... & 0
\end{array} \right]$ where $1_p$
signifies 1 at
$p^{th}$
position. For that
divide$p_{th}$row of matrix$ \left[ \begin{array}{cc}
I &
Y \end{array} \right]$
and matrix $ \left[ \begin{array}{cc}
Y(0) \end{array} \right]$
by
$Y_{pq}$ and apply the row operation $R_i \Rightarrow R_i - Y_{iq} \ast R_p$
\end{itemize}
\section{Determining the Leaving Variable p}
\begin{itemize}
\item While applying row transformation of
$ \left[ \begin{array}{cc}
I &
Y \end{array} \right]$ rows of $ \left[ \begin{array}{c}
I \end{array} \right]$ also changes and are given by
\[Y_{i0}\textprime =Y_{i0}-Y_{iq}\ast Y_{p0} / Y_{i0} \]
Condition $Y_{i0}\textprime \ge 0 $ must satisfy otherwise $x_q$ would not be a BFS.
\item So choose p such that
\[p \in S = \underset{i}{\operatorname{argmin}} \{Y_{i0}/Y_{iq} | Y_{iq} \ge 0\}\]
\item If number of elements in S is $>$ 1 then the would become degenerate. Since non-degeneracy is assumed
\[p = \underset{i}{\operatorname{argmin}}\{Y_{i0}/Y_{iq} | Y_{iq} \ge 0\}\]
\end{itemize}
\section{Determining the Entering Variable q}
\begin{itemize}
\item We Know that
\[ \left[ \begin{array}{cc}
I &
Y \end{array} \right] \left[ \begin{array}{cc}
x_B \\
x_{NB} \end{array} \right]= \left[ \begin{array}{c}
Y(0) \end{array} \right] \]
\[ x_B=Y_0-Yx_{NB} \]
\[Where \left[ \begin{array}{cc}
x_B \\
x_{NB} \end{array} \right] \ge 0 \]
\item Initial Cost:
\[c^T\left[ \begin{array}{cc}
x_B \\
x_{NB} \end{array} \right] =c_B^Tx_B+c_{NB}^Tx_{NB} \]
\[=c_B^Tx_B\]
\[=c_B^T Y_0\]
\[since~~x_{NB}=0 ~~and~~ I \ast x_B + Y \ast x_{NB}= Y_0\]
\item Now cost is
\[c^T\left[ \begin{array}{cc}
x_B \\
x_{NB} \end{array} \right] =c_B^Tx_B+c_{NB}^Tx_{NB} \]
\[=c_B^T(Y_0-Yx_{NB})+c_{NB}^Tx_{NB}\]
\[ =c_B^TY_0+(c_{NB-Y^Tc_B})^Tx_{NB} \]
\item Now we can choose q such for which $(c_{NB}-Y^Tc_B)_q<0$
\item Formalizing the above concept
\[ \left[ \begin{array}{cccccccc}
1 & 0 & ... & 0 & Y_{1,m+1} &Y_{1,m+2} & ... & Y_{1,n} \\
0 & 1 & ... & 0 & Y_{2,m+1} &Y_{2,m+2} & ... & Y_{2,n} \\
. & . & . & . & . & . & ... & . \\
. & . & . & . & . & . & ... & . \\
. & . & . & . & . & . & ... & . \\
0 & 0 & ... & 1 & Y_{m,m+1} &Y_{m,m+2} & ... & Y_{m,n} \\
\end{array} \right] \left[ \begin{array}{c}
x_1\\ .\\ .\\ .\\ x_m\\ .\\ .\\ .\\x_n \end{array} \right] = \left[ \begin{array}{c}
y_{10}\\ .\\ .\\ .\\ y_{m0}\\ .\\ .\\ .\\y_{n0} \end{array} \right] \]
and
\[(c_{NB}-Y^Tc_B)^Tx_{NB}=\sum_{j=m+1}^n(c_j-Z_j)\ast x_j\]
\[Where ~~ Z_j=\sum_{i=1}^m(Y_{i,j}\ast c_i)\]
\item To determine the entering variable choose j such that $(c_j - Z_j ) < 0$
\end{itemize}
\subsection{Theorem 8.1.} Given a non-degenerate Basic Feasible Solution with objective value $Z\textprime$ . Suppose $c_j - Z_j\textprime < 0$
for some j there is a feasible solution with objective value $< Z\textprime$ . Also if variable $x_j$ can be substituted for
a variable in the basis for a new BFS, we get new BFS with value $Z_0 < 0$. If this cannot be done then the
solution is unbounded.
\section{Optimality condition}
The Basic Feasible Solution is optimal if
\[\forall,~~~~ c_j - Z_j \ge 0\]
\section{Some Points to Ponder}
\begin{itemize}
\item f there does not exist p to replace then we have founded the recession direction and the cost can be
reduced to $-\infty$
\item In the worst case the Simplex Algorithm might visit all the extreme points. Example - Klee Minty cube
\end{itemize}
\pagebreak
\section{Duality}
Every linear programming problem, referred to as a primal problem, can be converted into a dual problem,
which provides an upper bound to the optimal value of the primal problem. The primal problem is:
\[\underset{x}{\operatorname{min}} ~c^Tx\]
\[Ax=b\]
\[x \ge 0\]
\[Where ~~ A \in R^{m \times n},~Rank(A)=m\]
with the corresponding symmetric dual problem,
\[\underset{y}{\operatorname{max}} ~ b^Ty\]
\[A^Ty \le c\]
\[Where ~~ A \in R^{m \times n},~Rank(A)=m\]
