Infeasible 2-var LP's
Consider again the original prototype example, modified by the additional
requirements (imposed by the company's marketing department) that the daily
production of product
must be at least 30 units, and that of product
should exceed 20 units. These requirements introduce two new constraints into
the problem formulation, i.e.,
Attempting to plot the feasible region for this new problem, we get Figure5,
which indicates that there are no points on the
-plane that satisfy all constraints, and therefore our problem is infeasible
(over-constrained).
