Chapter 6.5, Problem 5P

Explanation of Solution

Duals of LP:

  • Consider the linear programming problem given below:
  • max z= x1+2x2
  • Subject to constraints:
    • 3x1+x26
    • 2x1+x2=5
    • x1,x20

a.

  • To find the dual of the above LP proceed as follows:
  • Step 1:
Max z
min w(x10)(x20)  
 x1x2  
(y10)y1316
 y221=5*
 12  
  • Step 2:
    • In this case, the second primal constraint is equality and therefore dual variable y2 is now unrestricted in sign(urs).
    • The asterisk (*) sign represents the places where rules must be applied to determine part of the dual

Explanation of Solution

b.

  • As the above linear programming problem is not a normal max problem, therefore the following steps are to be performed to convert it into a normal form.
  • Step 1: Multiply each constraint by -1 as mentioned below:
    • There is no constraint in this LP.
  • Step 2:
    • Replace the equality constraint 2x1+x2=5 by two inequality constraints as,
      • 2x1+x25
      • 2x1x25
  • Step 3:
    • Now replace each urs variable xi by xi=xi'xi'' as there is no urs variable in the given LP.
  • Now write the transformed LP as,
  • max z= x1+2x2
  • Subject to constraints:
    • 3x1+x26
    • 2x1+x25
    • 2x1x25
    • x1,x20
  • Construct the following table according to the given LP,
Min W(x10)(x20)  
 x1

Explanation of Solution

c.

  • Now put y2=y2'y2'' in the part (b) answer. So that,
  • min w= 6y1+5y2
  • Subject to constraints
    • 3y1+2y21
    • y1+y22
    • y10,y2 urs
  • Since,
  • y2
