The Simplex Method Calculator is a tool designed to solve linear programming problems using the Simplex algorithm. This application is a useful resource for students, professors, and professionals working in the fields of operations research, mathematics, engineering, or economics.
The application guides you through solving optimization problems. It not only provides the final solution but also breaks down the entire process, displaying each iteration tableau. This allows users not only to obtain the answer but also to study and understand the procedure step by step.
Main Features:
LP Problem Solving: Solves both maximization and minimization problems (based on the "Maximize" interface).
Problem Definition:
Easily enter the objective function (e.g., z = 50x + 40y).
Add multiple constraints (e.g., 2x + 3y <= 1500) one by one. The interface allows you to manage a list of all the problem's constraints.
Detailed Results:
Clearly displays the optimal solution (e.g., z = 28750; x = 375; y = 250).
Presents all iteration tables (Table 1, Table 2, etc.) of the Simplex method, showing the calculations at each step, including slack variables (s1, s2...), pivots, and the z-row.
