LP's in ``standard form''
To further exploit the previous characterization of extreme points as the
solution to n binding linearly independent constraints, we must define
the concept of LP's in ``standard form''. An LP is said to be in
``standard form'', if: (i) all technological constraints are
equality constraints, and (ii) all the variables have a nonnegativity
sign restriction.
Every LP can be brought into ``standard form'' through the following
transformations:
You can get a clearer idea about how the above transformation works, by
having it applied to your own examples. To interpret the obtained results,
notice that the final outcome is presented in a"tableau"
format.
