"""Simplex method for linear programming
|
||
|
|
||
|
The *simplex* method uses a traditional, full-tableau implementation of
|
||
|
Dantzig's simplex algorithm [1]_, [2]_ (*not* the Nelder-Mead simplex).
|
||
|
This algorithm is included for backwards compatibility and educational
|
||
|
purposes.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. versionadded:: 0.15.0
|
||
|
|
||
|
Warnings
|
||
|
--------
|
||
|
|
||
|
The simplex method may encounter numerical difficulties when pivot
|
||
|
values are close to the specified tolerance. If encountered try
|
||
|
remove any redundant constraints, change the pivot strategy to Bland's
|
||
|
rule or increase the tolerance value.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Alternatively, more robust methods maybe be used. See
|
||
|
:ref:`'interior-point' <optimize.linprog-interior-point>` and
|
||
|
:ref:`'revised simplex' <optimize.linprog-revised_simplex>`.

Minimize a linear objective function subject to linear equality and
|
||
|
non-negativity constraints using the two phase simplex method.
|
||
|
Linear programming is intended to solve problems of the following form:
|
||
|
|
||
|
Minimize::
|
||
|
|
||
|
c @ x
|
||
|
|
||
|
Subject to::
|
||
|
|
||
|
A @ x == b
|
||
|
x >= 0
|
||
|
|
||
|
Parameters
|
||
|
----------
|
||
|
c : 1-D array
|
||
|
Coefficients of the linear objective function to be minimized.
|
||
|
c0 : float
|
||
|
Constant term in objective function due to fixed (and eliminated)
|
||
|
variables. (Purely for display.)
|
||
|
A : 2-D array
|
||
|
2-D array such that ``A @ x``, gives the values of the equality
|
||
|
constraints at ``x``.
|
||
|
b : 1-D array
|
||
|
1-D array of values representing the right hand side of each equality
|
||
|
constraint (row) in ``A``.
|
||
|
callback : callable, optional
|
||
|
If a callback function is provided, it will be called within each
|
||
|
iteration of the algorithm. The callback function must accept a single
|
||
|
`scipy.optimize.OptimizeResult` consisting of the following fields:
|
||
|
|
||
|
x : 1-D array
|
||
|
Current solution vector
|
||
|
fun : float
|
||
|
Current value of the objective function
|
||
|
success : bool
|
||
|
True when an algorithm has completed successfully.
|
||
|
slack : 1-D array
|
||
|
The values of the slack variables. Each slack variable
|
||
|
corresponds to an inequality constraint. If the slack is zero,
|
||
|
the corresponding constraint is active.
|
||
|
con : 1-D array
|
||
|
The (nominally zero) residuals of the equality constraints,
|
||
|
that is, ``b - A_eq @ x``
|
||
|
phase : int
|
||
|
The phase of the algorithm being executed.
|
||
|
status : int
|
||
|
An integer representing the status of the optimization::
|
||
|
|
||
|
0 : Algorithm proceeding nominally
|
||
|
1 : Iteration limit reached
|
||
|
2 : Problem appears to be infeasible
|
||
|
3 : Problem appears to be unbounded
|
||
|
4 : Serious numerical difficulties encountered
|
||
|
nit : int
|
||
|
The number of iterations performed.
|
||
|
message : str
|
||
|
A string descriptor of the exit status of the optimization.
|
||
|
postsolve_args : tuple
|
||
|
Data needed by _postsolve to convert the solution to the standard-form
|
||
|
problem into the solution to the original problem.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Options
|
||
|
-------
|
||
|
maxiter : int
|
||
|
The maximum number of iterations to perform.
|
||
|
disp : bool
|
||
|
If True, print exit status message to sys.stdout
|
||
|
tol : float
|
||
|
The tolerance which determines when a solution is "close enough" to
|
||
|
zero in Phase 1 to be considered a basic feasible solution or close
|
||
|
enough to positive to serve as an optimal solution.
|
||
|
bland : bool
|
||
|
If True, use Bland's anti-cycling rule [3]_ to choose pivots to
|
||
|
prevent cycling. If False, choose pivots which should lead to a
|
||
|
converged solution more quickly. The latter method is subject to
|
||
|
cycling (non-convergence) in rare instances.
|
||
|
unknown_options : dict
|
||
|
Optional arguments not used by this particular solver. If
|
||
|
`unknown_options` is non-empty a warning is issued listing all
|
||
|
unused options.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Returns
|
||
|
-------
|
||
|
x : 1-D array
|
||
|
Solution vector.
|
||
|
status : int
|
||
|
An integer representing the exit status of the optimization::
|
||
|
|
||
|
0 : Optimization terminated successfully
|
||
|
1 : Iteration limit reached
|
||
|
2 : Problem appears to be infeasible
|
||
|
3 : Problem appears to be unbounded
|
||
|
4 : Serious numerical difficulties encountered
|
||
|
|
||
|
message : str
|
||
|
A string descriptor of the exit status of the optimization.
|
||
|
iteration : int
|
||
|
The number of iterations taken to solve the problem.

Notes
|
||
|
-----
|
||
|
The expected problem formulation differs between the top level ``linprog``
|
||
|
module and the method specific solvers. The method specific solvers expect a
|
||
|
problem in standard form:
|
||
|
|
||
|
Minimize::
|
||
|
|
||
|
c @ x
|
||
|
|
||
|
Subject to::
|
||
|
|
||
|
A @ x == b
|
||
|
x >= 0
|
||
|
|
||
|
Whereas the top level ``linprog`` module expects a problem of form:
|
||
|
|
||
|
Minimize::
|
||
|
|
||
|
c @ x
|
||
|
|
||
|
Subject to::
|
||
|
|
||
|
A_ub @ x <= b_ub
|
||
|
A_eq @ x == b_eq
|
||
|
lb <= x <= ub
|
||
|
|
||
|
where ``lb = 0`` and ``ub = None`` unless set in ``bounds``.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The original problem contains equality, upper-bound and variable constraints
|
||
|
whereas the method specific solver requires equality constraints and
|
||
|
variable non-negativity.
|
||
|
|
||
|
``linprog`` module converts the original problem to standard form by
|
||
|
converting the simple bounds to upper bound constraints, introducing
|
||
|
non-negative slack variables for inequality constraints, and expressing
|
||
|
unbounded variables as the difference between two non-negative variables.
