Figure 5.4. An optimization problem with a degenerate extreme point: The optimal<br />

solution to this problem is still (16, 72), but this extreme point is degenerate,<br />

which will impact the behavior of the simplex algorithm.<br />

Suppose we start at the extreme point where x1 = 35 and x2 = 15 and s2 = 95 and<br />

s4 = 23.75. In this case, the matrices are:<br />

MRT (s3)<br />

From this, we see that the variable s3 should enter (because its reduce cost is negative).<br />

In this case, there is a tie for the leaving variables: we see that 95/5 = 19 = (95/4)/(5/4),<br />

therefore, either s2 or s4 could be chosen as the leaving variable. This is because we will<br />

move to a degenerate extreme point when s3 enters the basis.<br />
