Modeling
Mathematically, an optimization problem is usually represented as:
\begin{aligned} \text{maximize/minimize}_x &~ f(x) \ \text{subject to} &~ x \in \Omega \end{aligned}
where:
- $x$ is the decision variable
- $f$ is the objective function
- ...

What is a Category?
A category $C$ consists of
- a collection $Obj$ of entities called objects

- a collection $Arw$ of entities called arrows

- three assignments:
- source: $Arw \to Obj$
- target: $Arw \to Obj$
- id: $Obj \to Arw$

- a partial ...

Recall that the standard of an LP is like the following:
\begin{aligned} \min &~~~ c^Tx \ \text{subject to} &~~~ Ax = b \ &~~~ x \ge 0 \end{aligned}
where $x \in \mathbb R^n, b \in \mathbb R^m, A \in \mathbb R^{m\times n}$
In the following discussio...

Two-Phase Method with Simplex Tableau
TL;DR, two-phase method involves two LP and can be solved by construct two simplex tableau.
However, there two things to consider:
- How to acquire the initial tableau in Phase I.
- How to make the transition from Ph...

Interpreting the Dual Problem
It turns out that dual problem actually have their own meanings. The interpretations of dual problems may give us a better understanding of the duality theory.
