Degeneracy
Alternative solution
Unbounded solution.
Infeasible solution.
Special cases in Linear Programming
Some cases in solving linear programming
are:
1- Degeneracy
In Graphic method
There will be one of the constraint will have no
effect on the solution.
In Simplex method:
One solution will be repeated in the solution
table.

Example:
Max Z = 3 X1 + 7 X2
Subject to
2 X1 + 8 X2 ≤ 16
2 X1 + 4 X2 ≤ 8

3- Unbounded solution
When the solution area is open.
Example
Max Z = 3 X1 + 2 X2
Subject to
X1 - X2 ≤ 2
2 X1 + 3 X2 ≤ 6

The Dual Model
For Each Primer Model there is a Dual Model. They can be used to
reach to liner programing solution faster.
For the Primer Model The Dual Model is as follows:
below: We will have
Min Z = 4X1 + 1X2 3 Variables.
Subject to: 2 Constraints
30X1 +10X2 ≥ 100 Objective Function will be
125 X1 +12 X2 ≥ 200 change to Maximize
120 X1 + 15 X2 ≥ 150 Max w = 100 y1 + 200 y2 + 150 y3
X1, X2 ≥ 0 Subject to:
30y1+ 125y2 + 120y3 ≤ 4
We have 10y1+ 12y2 + 15y3 ≤ 1
2 Variables.
y1, y2 , y3 ≥ 0
