In mathematical optimization, Dantzig's simplex algorithm (or simplex method) is a popular algorithm for linear programming. [ 1 ] The name of the algorithm is derived from the concept of a simplex and was suggested by T. S. Motzkin . [ 2 ]
An intuitive explanation of the algorithm from "Numerical Recipes": [5] The downhill simplex method now takes a series of steps, most steps just moving the point of the simplex where the function is largest (“highest point”) through the opposite face of the simplex to a lower point.
The revised simplex method is mathematically equivalent to the standard simplex method but differs in implementation. Instead of maintaining a tableau which explicitly represents the constraints adjusted to a set of basic variables, it maintains a representation of a basis of the matrix representing the constraints.
HiGHS has implementations of the primal and dual revised simplex method for solving LP problems, based on techniques described by Hall and McKinnon (2005), [6] and Huangfu and Hall (2015, 2018). [ 7 ] [ 8 ] These include the exploitation of hyper-sparsity when solving linear systems in the simplex implementations and, for the dual simplex ...
The algorithm was not a computational break-through, as the simplex method is more efficient for all but specially constructed families of linear programs. However, Khachiyan's algorithm inspired new lines of research in linear programming.
In mathematical optimization, Bland's rule (also known as Bland's algorithm, Bland's anti-cycling rule or Bland's pivot rule) is an algorithmic refinement of the simplex method for linear optimization. With Bland's rule, the simplex algorithm solves feasible linear optimization problems without cycling. [1] [2] [3]
The IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimizer solves integer programming problems, very large [3] linear programming problems using either primal or dual variants of the simplex method or the barrier interior point method, convex and non-convex quadratic programming problems, and convex quadratically constrained problems (solved via second-order cone programming, or SOCP).
