  2. Simplex algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplex_algorithm

    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 ]

  3. Nelder–Mead method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelder–Mead_method

    Simplex vertices are ordered by their value, with 1 having the lowest (best) value. The Nelder–Mead method (also downhill simplex method , amoeba method , or polytope method ) is a numerical method used to find the minimum or maximum of an objective function in a multidimensional space.

  4. Mathematical optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_optimization

    Simplex vertices are ordered by their values, with 1 having the lowest (() best) value. Mathematical optimization (alternatively spelled optimisation ) or mathematical programming is the selection of a best element, with regard to some criteria, from some set of available alternatives.

  5. Pattern search (optimization) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_search_(optimization)

    Golden-section search conceptually resembles PS in its narrowing of the search range, only for single-dimensional search spaces.; Nelder–Mead method aka. the simplex method conceptually resembles PS in its narrowing of the search range for multi-dimensional search spaces but does so by maintaining n + 1 points for n-dimensional search spaces, whereas PS methods computes 2n + 1 points (the ...

  6. Revised simplex method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revised_simplex_method

    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.

  7. Bland's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bland's_rule

    With Bland's rule, the simplex algorithm solves feasible linear optimization problems without cycling. [1] [2] [3] The original simplex algorithm starts with an arbitrary basic feasible solution, and then changes the basis in order to decrease the minimization target and find an optimal solution. Usually, the target indeed decreases in every ...

  8. Basic feasible solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_feasible_solution

    In the theory of linear programming, a basic feasible solution (BFS) is a solution with a minimal set of non-zero variables.Geometrically, each BFS corresponds to a vertex of the polyhedron of feasible solutions.

  9. Big M method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_M_method

    If the problem is of minimization, transform to maximization by multiplying the objective by −1. For any greater-than constraints, introduce surplus s i and artificial variables a i (as shown below). Choose a large positive Value M and introduce a term in the objective of the form −M multiplying the artificial variables.
