The simplex method<br />

(illustrated by example)<br />

• Example (N=4, M=2)<br />

Maximize z = – 4x 1 – 25x 2 + 4x 3 + x 4<br />

subject to x 1 + 6x 2 –x 3 = 2<br />

–3x 2 + 4x 3 + x 4 = 8<br />

Move variables that appear in only one<br />

constraint equation to the left hand side and call<br />

them left hand variables<br />
