Further Examples

This solves an equality-constrained problem. The expression  is minimized subject to  . The zero indicates equality.

In[1]:=  

Out[1]=

This solves a problem with no constraints other than bounds. The expression  is minimized subject to    and      .

In[2]:=  

Out[2]=

This solves a problem with only lower bounds. The expression  is minimized subject to    and    .

In[3]:=  

Out[3]=

This solves a problem with no bounds on the second variable. The expression  is minimized subject to    and    . The number  indicates " ".

In[4]:=  

Out[4]=

This solves a problem with the second variable fixed to be  . The expression  is minimized subject to    ,    and  .

In[5]:=  

Out[5]=

The above problem can also be solved by writing the fixed variable  as the equality constraint,  and setting its bounds to any that catch the value  , such as  .

In[6]:=  

Out[6]=

This solves a problem with both equality and inequality constraints as well as bounds. The expression  is minimized subject to    ,  ,      and      .

In[7]:=  

Out[7]=

The Klee-Minty problem of dimension  is
Maximize 10000 y[1] + 1000 y[2] + 100 y[3] + 10 y[4] + y[5]
subject to y[1]  1,
20 y[1] + y[2]  100,
200 y[1] + 20 y[2] + y[3]
2000 y[1] + 200 y[2] + 20 y[3] + y[4]
20000 y[1] + 2000 y[2] + 200 y[3] + 20 y[4] + y[5]
y[1]  0, y[2]  0, y[3]  0, y[4]  0, y[5]  0.
This expresses the Klee-Minty problem of dimension  in the LinearProgramming syntax.

In[8]:=  

Without scaling, the simplex algorithm takes an exponential number of iterations to converge. Evaluate the previous cell to define KleeMinty.

In[9]:=  

Out[9]=

With scaling, which is applied by default, the simplex algorithm converges very quickly.

In[10]:=  

Out[10]=

In[11]:=
