DualSimplex

class DualSimplex extends MinimizerLP

The DualSimplex class solves Linear Programming (LP) problems using a tableau based Dual Simplex Algorithm. It is particularly useful when re-optimizing after a constraint has been added. The algorithm starts with an infeasible super-optimal solution and moves toward (primal) feasibility and optimality.

Given a constraint matrix 'a', limit/RHS vector 'b' and cost vector 'c', find values for the solution/decision vector 'x' that minimize the objective function f(x), while satisfying all of the constraints, i.e.,

minimize f(x) = c x subject to a x <= b, x >= 0

Creates an 'MM-by-NN' simplex tableau with -- [0..M-1, 0..N-1] = a (constraint matrix) -- [0..M-1, N..M+N-1] = s (slack/surplus variable matrix) -- [0..M-1, NN-1] = b (limit/RHS vector) -- [M, 0..NN-2] = c (cost vector)
