1 Chapter 9 asic on the simplex method The Simplex Method is certainly the most famous and most used algorithm in optimization. Proposed in 1947 by G..Dantzig, he has undergone, in over 50 years of life, many improvements which, while not changing substantially the simple logic structure created by Dantzig, have certainly improved the computational efficiency and ease of use. Today there are many commercial packages that implement the Simplex algorithm and allow the solution of Linear Programg problems with millions of variables. 9.1 Introduction The Simplex Method applies to linear programg problems in standard form : c T x Ax=b 0 x with b 0. ased on the fundamental theorem for LP, the simplex method looks for a it vertex of P={x R n : Ax=b, x 0 n } which is optimal for problem 9.1. We briefly describe an implementation of the method of Simplex in it two phases: it Phase I and it Phase II. Phase I allows to check whether the LP problem is feasible and, in case, to find an initial vertex. Theorem 8.8 guarantees the existence of a vertex for a polyhedron in 9.1. If the problem does not have a vertex then the polyhedron P is empty and the problem is unfeasible and Phase I ends. Phase I consists in check of feasibility; 71
2 72 CHAPTER 9. ASIC ON THE SIMPLEX METHOD eliation redundant constraints so that ranka=m; find a feasible vertex. Starting from this first solution, the simplex method Phase II produces a movement along the edges of the feasible polyhedron, so to pass from one vertex to an adjacent one improving the value of the objective function to find an optimal solution of problem P or to conclude that the problem is unbounded. Phase II solves a problem of type 9.1 with ranka = m starting form a first feasible vertex. The algorithm produces a sequence of feasible vertexes, checking at each iteration either optimality of the solution or unboundednes of the problem using suitable criteria. The main steps are: 1. optimality certification of the current vertex; 2. unboundedness certification; 3. construction of a new feasible vertex. Under suitable assupmtions, the simplex method converges in a finite number of iterations to an optimal solution of 9.1, or certifies that such a solution does not exist. The algorithm used in Phase II can be used to solve Phase I too. we report a short description of the main concepts useful to understand the output of most commercial software, starting from the Phase II of the simplex method. Phase I will be described later asic Feasible Solution FS and the reduced problem A submatrix m m of A is said the be a basic matrix of A if it is not singular. Given a basis, we can express A as A =, N, after reordering of the columns, where N is the submatrix obtained with the column not in. Analogously we partion the ectors x c x=, c= x N Variables x are the basic variables whereas x N not basic variables. We can write the problem as: c T x + c T N x N x + Nx N = b x 0, x N 0 Since is non singular we have Substituting back we get a problem in the only variables x N. c N x = 1 b 1 Nx N 9.2
3 9.1. INTRODUCTION 73 The reduced problem in the only variables x N c T 1 b+c T N ct 1 Nx N 1 b 1 Nx N 0 m, x N is equivalent to problem 9.1 ˆx In particular, a vector ˆx = is a feasible solution of 9.1 if and only if ˆx ˆx N is feasible for N 9.3 e ˆx = 1 b 1 N ˆx N and the value of the objective function of problem 9.1 in ˆx is equal to the objective value of the reduced problem in ˆx N. Given a basis, a feasible solution x = 1 b, x N = 0 is called asic feasible Solution FS if and only if 1 b 0. Theorem 9.2 A feasible point x is a vertex of problem 9.1 if and only if is FS. Hence given the FS x= 1 b asscoited to the basis, the point x N = is the corresponding solution of tge reducd problem and c T 1 b is the value of the objective function. The correspondence vertex - basis is not unique. Given a basis you can associate a FS, but given a FS, i.e. a vertex, you can have more than one basis associated. The coefficients of x N in the objective function of the reduced problem are the components of the vector γ defined by: T γ = T c N T c 1 N called reduced costs. Theorem 9.3 Optimality criterion Let x= 1 b be a FS for problem 9.1. If the reduced cost is non negative, namely: then the FS x= 1 b T c N T c 1 N T, is an optimal solution for problem 9.1. Proof. We prove that if γ 0 then c T x c T x for all feasible x. We have c T x=c T x + c T N x N = c T x x = c T 1 b. In any feasible solution x= of 9.1 we have c T x=c T x + c T N x N and using 9.2 we get x N c T x=c T 1 b+γ T x N
4 74 CHAPTER 9. ASIC ON THE SIMPLEX METHOD Since x is feasible we have that x N 0, and since γ 0: we get the result c T x c T 1 b=c T x. Esempio 7 Consider the LP The FS can be found by enumeration. 1. x 1 = x 2 = 0 unfeasible 2. x 1 = x 3 = 0 unfeasible 3. x 1 = x 4 = 0 unfeasible 4. x 2 = x 3 = 0, x 1 = 6,x 4 = 10 FS 5. x 2 = x 4 = 0, x 1 = 1,x 3 = 5 2 FS 6. x 3 = x 4 = 0, x 1 = 4 9 x 2 = 10 9 FS. Consider the FS x2 variables are x N = x and we get 1 = 2 1 x 1 + 3x 2 + x 3 x 1 + 5x 2 + 2x 3 = 6 2x 1 + x 2 x 4 = 2 x 1 0, x 2 0, x 3 0 x 4 0 ; the basic variable are x = = 0; the basis =. We get γ T = 2 1 0, we cannot conlulde on the optimality of the point x. x1 x 4 = 6 10, the non basic. The reduced cost γ T = c T N ct 1 N
5 9.1. INTRODUCTION Phase I: Construction of the first FS As noted in the introduction to this section, the procedure that deteres the FS for a linear programg problem is called Phase I of the Simplex Method. The purpose of Phase I is to detere whether the problem 9.1 is feasible and in case it identifies the first FS. In this Phase the method also verify that ranka= m and in case redundant constraints are removed. Phase I is based on the definition of the auxiliary problem where α T =α 1,...,α m are called auxiliary variables. We note that the auxiliary problem has always a vertex. The matrixa I m has rank equal to m. A FS dor problem 9.4 is easily identied as x,α=0,b. Problem 9.4 is not unbounded below zα,x= m i=1 α i Ax+I m α = b x 0 n,α 0 m 9.4 Hence there exists always am optimal solutionx,α. α Theorem 9.4 Problem 9.1 has a feasible solution if and only if the optimal solution of problem 9.4 has value zα,x =0. x The solution x,α of 9.4 can be found using Phase II of the simplex starting from the initial FS x,α=0,b. If zx,α 0 problem is unfeasible. Otherwise at the end f Phase, the methos returns also a FS for 9.1.
