Prov<strong>in</strong>g Optimality: Method of Tight Restrictions<br />
• What does it take to show that (x,y) is really an optimal solution<br />
• We need to show two th<strong>in</strong>gs:<br />
• That (x,y) is a feasible solution<br />
• No other feasible solution gives a better objective function value<br />
• To show that (x,y) is a feasible solution is easy<br />
• Just plug the values of x and y <strong>in</strong>to the constra<strong>in</strong>ts and show that<br />
they are all satisfied<br />
• To show the second is harder
