A Computer Technique for Solving LP Problems with Bounded Variables

Abstract

Linear Programming problem (LPP)s with upper bounded variables can be solved using the Bounded Simplex method (BSM),without the explicit consideration of the upper bounded constraints. The upper bounded constraints are considered implicitly in this method which reduced the size of the basis matrix significantly. In this paper, we have developed MATHEMATICA codes for solving such problems. A complete algorithm of the program with the help of a numerical example has been provided. Finally a comparison with the built-in code has been made for showing the efficiency of the developed code.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/dujs.v60i2.11487 Dhaka Univ. J.
