The basic Simplex iteration through an example

Following link describes a basic simplex iteration. Read it at your own pace and try to understand the concepts involved. Practice on at least one problem.

As you may recall that in Simplex iteration, we select the variable with most negative co-efficient in the objective function line as entering variable and take it's column as pivot column. If more than one variable has the same most negative coefficient there is a tie for entering variable. This tie can be broken arbitrarily. Similarly if you have a tie for leaving variable the same holds good.

It means that in all such cases the tie has to be broken arbitrarily. Take anyone.
