Explain How a Multiple Optimal Solution is Recognized When Using the Simplex Algorithm

Introduction

The simplex Algorithm is a procedure for explaining problems in linear programming. This method, created by George Danzig in 1947, tests adjacent vertices of the feasible set (which is a polytope) in sequence so that at each new vertex the objective function advances or is unchanged. The simplex algorithm is very efficient in practice, generally taking to iterations at most (where is the number of equality constraints), and converging in expected ...
