    The document discusses key concepts in the simplex method for solving linear optimization problems. It defines the minimum ratio test used to select the next pivot row in the simplex method. It describes the relationship between primal and dual problems, where the dual problem provides a lower bound to the primal minimization problem. It contrasts the graphical method, suitable for 2-3 variables, with the simplex method, which provides economic data as a byproduct. Finally, it explains that the Big M method uses artificial variables represented by a large number M, allowing the simplex method to be applied when the origin is not feasible.

    SIMPLEX METHOD

    What is minimum ratio in simplex method?

    Minimum ratio test: Pick out each positive (>0) coefficient in the pivot column. Divide
    right side values by positive coefficients. Identify the row having the smallest ratio.

    What is primal and dual?

    In mathematical optimization theory, duality or the duality principle is the principle that
    optimization problems may be viewed from either of two perspectives, the primal
    problem or the dual problem. The solution to the dual problem provides a lower bound
    to the solution of the primal (minimization) problem.

    What is the difference between graphical and simplex method?

    (4) Simplex method involves use of surplus, slack, and artificial variables but provides
    useful economic data as a by- product. The graphical method is preferable when the
    problem has two variables and only two or three constraints (and when no computer is
    available).

    What is the difference between simplex method and Big M method?

    The simplex algorithm is the original and still one of the most widely used methods for
    solving linear maximization problems. However, to apply it, the origin (all variables
    equal to 0) must be a feasible point. ... The "Big M" refers to a large number associated
    with the artificial variables, represented by the letter M.
