    Study Notes

    Diet Problem Constraints

    • The objective is to mix two food types (F1 and F2) to achieve specific vitamin content.
    • Required vitamin contents: at least 8 units of Vitamin A and 11 units of Vitamin B.
    • Food F1 costs Rs. 60/kg and contains 3 units of Vitamin A and 5 units of Vitamin B.
    • Food F2 costs Rs. 80/kg and contains 4 units of Vitamin A and 2 units of Vitamin B.
    • Constraints can be expressed as:
      • (3x1 + 4x2 \geq 8) (Vitamin A constraint)
      • (5x1 + 2x2 \geq 11) (Vitamin B constraint)
      • (x1 \geq 0, x2 \geq 0) (Non-negativity constraint)

    Linear Programming Problem Formulation

    • Objective function to minimize costs: (C = 60x1 + 80x2).
    • Constraints outlined are vital for ensuring the mixture meets nutritional requirements.

    Graphical Method for Linear Programming

    • Steps for solving with the graphical method:
      • Plot the model constraints on a coordinate graph.
      • Identify the feasible solution space where constraints intersect.
      • Graph the objective function to find points on the boundary that optimize the function.
      • Evaluate the objective function at each corner point of the feasible region.
      • Determine optimal solution using highest profit or lowest cost criteria.

    Example of Maximization

    • Given objective function: Maximize (P = 7x1 + 5x2)
    • Subject to:
      • (4x1 + 3x2 \leq 240)
      • (2x1 + x2 \leq 100)
      • (x1, x2 \geq 0)
    • Solutions and profits at corner points include:
      • (0,0): Profit = 0
      • (50,0): Profit = 350
      • (30,40): Profit = 410 (optimal)
      • (0,80): Profit = 400

    Multiple Optimal Solutions and Infeasibility

    • Multiple Optimal Solutions occur if more than one corner point gives the same optimal value.
    • Example of infeasibility when constraints are contradictory:
      • (x1 + x2 \leq 200) and other constraints lead to no possible solution.

    Unboundedness in Linear Programming

    • Occurs when objective function can increase indefinitely due to a lack of upper bounds on variables.

    Simplex Method Overview

    • Suitable for problems with more than two decision variables or complex constraints.
    • Involves creating a simplex tableau and performing row operations to optimize the linear programming problem.
    • Steps include converting inequalities to equations using slack variables, creating the initial tableau, and iterating through pivoting until the optimal solution is reached.

    Basic and Nonbasic Variables

    • Basic variables are determined arbitrarily within the system's equations, while non-basic variables are those remaining after selection.
    • A feasible solution must have non-negative values to be considered valid in real-world scenarios.### Understanding the Simplex Method
    • Individual elements of the A2 row are divided by the pivot element (1) to calculate new values.
    • The new basis row contains updated values with columns for decision variables (X1, X2), slack variables (S1, S2, S3), artificial variables (A1, A2), and the right-hand side (bj).
    • Updated values for the basis A1 and A2 rows indicate a total of 350 and 125 respectively for their right-hand side (bj) values.

    Table Representation

    • The current tableau includes:
      • Coefficients (Cj) for decision variables X1, X2 and slack variables S1, S2, S3, with artificial variables A1 and A2 also included.
      • For slack variable S3, the basis row reflects values necessary for subsequent calculations.

    Values for Decision Variables

    • Zj row displays the cumulative values for the objective function.
    • The updated table will provide a clearer indication of which variables are entering and exiting the basis.

    Exiting and Entering Variables

    • In the current tableau, slack variable S3 is identified as exiting the basis.
    • Slack variable S2 is identified as entering the tableau, indicating a pivot operation is necessary to update the current solution.

    Purpose of the Update

    • Updating the tableau aids in progressing toward the optimal solution in linear programming.
    • Each tableau update ensures that the feasible region is maintained while seeking to maximize or minimize the objective function.
