<dd><p><code>linear_program</code> is an implementation of the simplex algorithm.
<code>linear_program(A, b, c)</code> computes a vector <var>x</var> for which <code>c.x</code> is minimum
possible among vectors for which <code>A.x = b</code> and <code>x &gt;= 0</code>. Argument
<var>A</var> is a matrix and arguments <var>b</var> and <var>c</var> are lists.
</p>
<p><code>linear_program</code> returns a list which contains the minimizing vector <var>x</var> and the
minimum value <code>c.x</code>. If the problem is not bounded, it returns &quot;Problem not bounded!&quot; and
if the problem is not feasible, it returns &quot;Problem not feasible!&quot;.
</p>
<p>To use this function first load the <code>simplex</code> package with <code>load(simplex);</code>.
</p>
<p>Example:
</p>
<table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example">(%i2) A: matrix([1,1,-1,0], [2,-3,0,-1], [4,-5,0,0])$
(%i3) b: [1,1,6]$

<a name="IDX1834"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>Maximizes linear objective function <var>obj</var> subject to some linear constraints

<dl>
<dt><u>Function:</u> <b>minimize_sx</b><i> (<var>obj</var>, <var>cond</var>, [<var>pos</var>])</i>
<a name="IDX1835"></a>
</dt>
<dd><p>Minimizes a linear objective function <var>obj</var> subject to some linear
constraints <var>cond</var>. <var>cond</var> a list of linear equations or
inequalities. In strict inequalities <code>&gt;</code> is replaced by <code>&gt;=</code>
and <code>&lt;</code> by <code>&lt;=</code>. The optional argument <var>pos</var> is a list of
decision variables which are assumed to be positive.
</p>
<p>If the minimum exists, <code>minimize_sx</code> returns a list which contains
the minimum value of the objective function and a list of decision variable
values for which the minimum is attained. If the problem is not bounded,
<code>minimize_sx</code> returns &quot;Problem not bounded!&quot; and if the problem
is not feasible, it returns &quot;Ploblem not feasible!&quot;.
</p>
<p>The decision variables are not assumed to be nonegative by default. If all
decision variables are nonegative, set <code>nonegative_sx</code> to <code>true</code>.
If only some of decision variables are positive, list them in the optional
argument <var>pos</var> (note that this is more efficient than adding
constraints).
</p>
<p><code>minimize_sx</code> uses the simplex algorithm which is implemented in maxima
<code>linear_program</code> function.
</p>
<p>To use this function first load the <code>simplex</code> package with <code>load(simplex);</code>.
