The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at UC Berkeley, George Dantzig—a first-year graduate student—copied two problems ...

The leading approach to the simplex method, a widely used technique for balancing complex logistical constraints, can’t get any better. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at the ...

During the Civil War, both sides used firing squads to kill deserting soldiers. Today, people on death row can choose to die that way in some states. By Jacey Fortin On Friday, for the second time in ...

Add a description, image, and links to the simplex-algorithm topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it.

This Repository contains topics related to computer optimization, computer orientation, operation research. Optimization techniques are methods used to find the best possible solution or outcome for a ...

Abstract: We show how the simplex algorithm can be tailored to the linear programming relaxation of pairwise energy minimization with binary variables. A special structure formed by basic and nonbasic ...

ABSTRACT: The steam turbine control system is strongly non-linear in all operating conditions. Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller that is currently used in control systems of many types ...

ABSTRACT: Nano-composite films of Au particles in Teflon were obtained by thermal vacuum deposition. The obtained films were characterized by the different shapes and dimensions of the inclusion ...
